Two people have been arrested after a 24-year-old was shot dead.

Kai McGingley, from Southwark, died in Pembroke Road, Erith, last month.

Late last night two men, aged 20 and 18, were arrested on suspicion of murder. They remain in custody.

The Met Police were called at approximately 8.50pm on Thursday, February 9, to reports of shots fired on a street in the borough of Bexley.

Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and found Kai suffering with a gunshot injury.

Despite their best efforts emergency services were unable to save him and Kai died at the scene.

At the time Det Chief Inspector Chris Wood said: “I am very keen to hear from anyone who has any information about the events which took place in Pembroke Road and in particular anyone who has knowledge of a silver Land Rover Freelander which was abandoned by the suspects following the murder.

"I believe that another vehicle, or vehicles, that we haven’t yet identified were then used to drive the suspects away from the scene.

"At least one of these vehicles is likely to be showing signs of front-end collision.

"If you have noticed a recently damaged vehicle owned by a friend or family member, or seen one parked up or abandoned or indeed you have been asked to repair one, please get in touch.

“A young man’s life has been ended and a family is now struggling to come to terms with their sudden and terrible loss.

"Our thoughts are with them today.”

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation should contact the police quoting the reference 7135/09Feb.
