A MAN who was shot dead in an apparent gang attack on Friday night has been named as Ashley Kemete from Kennington, south London.
Cops were called to White Hart Street in Kennington at 9.10pm last night were they found a man with gunshot wounds.
Paramedics and the air ambulance were called but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Shots
A member of staff at the nearby White Hart pub in Kennington Lane said customers at the front of the building had heard gun fire.
He said: “We saw loads of police cars around and we heard that someone had been shot or was firing a gun.
“A couple of the guys at the front said they had heard gun shots.”
Abdul Momen, who works at Taste of India takeaway, said: “That’s quite shocking, we make deliveries to that street.
"Normally it's just car accidents in Kennington Lane but this is very serious.
“There’s so many gangs in this area so maybe it’s linked to them."
A 21-year-old woman neighbour, who refused to give her name, said: “We heard the gunshots and thought it was fireworks. We heard ’bang, bang, bang’ and I thought, it’s a bit early for fireworks.
“Then we heard there was a boy on the floor and he’d been shot four times.
“I know the boy who it was, we used to hang around together with other youngsters when we were kids though I’ve lost touch with him since.
“I saw him a few days ago, it’s shocking to think that now he’s dead.
“The time was when people used to fight with their fists, now it’s all gone crazy.”
The area has been cordoned off while police officers investigate.
