Oliver Tetlow was shot dead after a gunman open fire in Church Road on March 9.

The killer used a ‘high-powered weapon’ believed to be an ‘Uzi’ before fleeing in a dark coloured car with blacked out windows.

Detectives investigating the murder believe the 27-year-old was not the intended target.

Investigating officers are looking into claims the murder is gang-related after a video showing gang members from the Church End Estate taunting their rivals in South Kilburn was posted online.

The footage shows a man holding a gold watch and several pieces of jewellery which is believed to have been robbed from a South Kilburn rival.

Pamela Humphrey, Mr Tetlow’s mother, released a statement last month appealing for information to catch her son’s killers.

She said: “It wasn’t a killing, it was an execution. I miss my son very much. Our family miss him very much; he was loved and is still loved.

“The only way to stop this happening again is for people to come forward and provide information that will see the killer and accomplices brought to trial as soon as possible. These people claim to have no fear but they so have one overriding fear, and that is of being caught. Let’s reflect that fear by passing information that will see them being caught.”

Days after the killing a 29-year-old man was arrested in Shepherd’s Bush on suspicion of murder and an 18-year-old was held in Harlesden on suspicion of robbery.

A third man, aged 24, was also arrested on suspicion of murder.

All three have been bailed to return to a police station at a later date.

Anyone witnesses or with information should call 0208 358 0200 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
