A year after the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Jazmel Patterson-Low in Lambeth, detectives have issued a £20,000 reward for information that could help bring his killer to justice.
Officers from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command have been investigating the murder since May last year and hope the reward will encourage more witnesses to come forward.
Jazmel, who lived locally, was shot on the Westbury Estate, St Rule Street, in the early hours of Saturday, May 11, 2024.
At 2.30am, staff at St Thomas’ Hospital alerted police after a man was dropped off in a private car suffering from a gunshot wound.
Despite medical efforts, he was pronounced dead shortly after 3am.
A post-mortem later confirmed the cause of death as a single gunshot wound.
In the days following the incident, a 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder but was later released with no further action.
The investigation remains ongoing, and Jazmel’s family continues to be supported by specialist officers.
Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe said: “It has been a year since the death of Jazmel and we are still actively searching for those involved.
“We want to know what happened that morning on St Rule Street SW8. We know there was a group of around 40 people gathered there on Friday evening and into the early hours of Saturday morning.
"If you were there, then you may have crucial information for us.
“I am grateful to those who have come forward already, however we still need more from the public.
"This is why we are now offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the successful charge and conviction of the person responsible.
“Think back to last May, did you witness what happened to Jazmel? Do you know who fired the gun? Did you see anyone running from the St Rule Street area? If you know what happened, then you need to speak to us.
“We will support you throughout, you can also contact Crimestoppers to remain anonymous and your identity will be protected. Alliances change over time, so please do the right thing by coming forward.”
