Detectives investigating the murder of Takayo Nembhard at Notting Hill Carnival have launched an online appeal for video and photo evidence as they renew calls for witnesses to come forward.
At around 20:00hrs on Monday, 29 August, officers became aware of a stabbing in Ladbroke Grove, under the Westway flyover.
Officers provided emergency first aid to 21-year-old Takayo until the arrival of paramedics.
He was taken to a west London hospital where, despite the best efforts of medical staff, he was sadly pronounced dead.
Takayo’s next of kin were informed. They continue to be supported by specialist officers.
A murder investigation was launched led by Detective Chief Inspector James Shirley of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command.
At this early stage there have been no arrests.
DCI Shirley, said: “I know that there were several hundred people in the immediate area surrounding the murder and while the carnival environment made the management of and access to the scene difficult, it also meant that there were likely to have been a number of witnesses.
“If you saw anything, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please do get in touch.”
Detectives would like to hear from anyone with information, including anyone who was filming or photographing in the area at the time and may have captured relevant footage or images on their phone or camera.
