A man shot dead in south London has been named by police.
Ashley Kemete was pronounced dead at the scene
Ashley Kemete, 20, was found on White Hart Street, Kennington, on Friday night and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Metropolitan Police officers have said they are keeping an open mind about the motive for killing.
Officers from force's Operation Trident team, which looks at gun crime in London's African and Caribbean communities, are investigating.
Det Insp Tony Broughton said: "This murder happened in a busy part of town, just after nine o'clock on a Friday night.
"We know there were many people in the area.
"Several witnesses have already come forward, but there will be others who saw something or know something. We need those people to get in touch with us."
A member of staff at the nearby White Hart pub in Kennington Lane 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 gunshots."
A post-mortem examination was being carried out on Sunday.
