Teenager Shot Dead In East London

A teenager has died and a man is fighting for his life after being shot in east London.

The pair were reportedly sat in a car at the time of the shootings in Hindrey Road, Clapton, at 8.20pm on Saturday.

Witnesses said they heard three gunshots.

Paramedics rushed the victims to hospital where the younger, aged 19, later died.

A 22-year-old man is understood to be in a stable condition.

Zach Carpenter, 18, saw two men wearing bandanas across their faces enter Hindrey Road before he heard three loud bangs.

Police are hunting for two suspects seen running away

One was wearing a red and white chequered bandana, and the other a black one, he said.

The Aberystwyth University student, whose family has lived in the area since he was 10 months old, said there were known feuds between gangs on rival estates.

"It's not so much a war, more of a feud between the Pembury and Nightingale estates, and another one," he said.

One resident, who did not wish to be named, said she heard three gunshots.

She said: "I heard the shots - one, two, three. I was on the phone to my son and he told me not to dare look out the house.

"It's been a lot better around here recently. There hasn't been anything like this for many years."

Another resident, who has lived in the area for more than 20 years, said: "With this happening now, I don't think people will feel safe.

"There have been shootings here before but this is the first murder."

Forensic teams working at the scene

Detectives from Operation Trident, which investigates gang-related crime, are hunting two suspects seen running from the scene.

One is black, Scotland Yard said, while the second is light-skinned, possibly of Asian or Turkish appearance.

They were seen running away from Hindrey Road after the shooting towards the nearby Pembury Estate.

Police said there was as yet no clear motive for the shootings, and no-one has been arrested.

"At this very early stage we must retain an open mind regarding the circumstances of the incident and any motive," the spokesman said.

Hindrey Road remains cordoned off, as police officers patrol the area.

A post-mortem examination is to be arranged.
