Man shot dead in car near major train station as cops hunt gunman

Paramedics battled to revive the man but sadly he could not be saved.

A 26-year-old man was shot dead yards away from a major train station, despite desperate efforts to save him. The man tragically died at the scene in Chalton Street, near London Euston Station, despite the best efforts of paramedics working to revive him.

Emergency crews were alerted to the incident at around 11pm after loud gunshots were heard. Cops said CCTV showed a suspect, who arrived and left on a bike, firing several shots at the man who was sitting in a white Nissan Juke.

The victim’s next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers, reports the Mirror. Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke, whose team is leading the investigation, said: “We are aware of the concern that this will cause for the local community, and want to reassure them that we are working hard to identify the attacker and bring them to justice.

“If anyone has any information that could help us, it is extremely important that they contact the police – either through 101, online or via independent charity Crimestoppers to remain anonymous. Our thoughts are with the young man’s family at this incredibly difficult time.”

Anyone with information should call 101 quoting CAD 8032/28Mar, or, to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
