Metropolitan Police release CCTV and offer £20,000 reward after Auguste‑Marie Bile‑aka Amoa was shot on Willington Road on 10 August
A bus driver was killed in a shooting on Willington Road in Clapham on the evening of 10 August. The victim, identified as Auguste‑Marie Bile‑aka Amoa, 25, died shortly after the gunshots were reported at 9.57 pm, according to This Is Local London, Crime.
Police investigation
Detective Chief Inspector Claire Guiver is leading the inquiry. She told reporters that the family continues to feel a profound loss and urged anyone with information, however small, to contact the police. "The loss of Bile‑Aka continues to hurt his family as they are left with a void that cannot be filled as a result of this tragic incident," Guiver said, as reported by This Is Local London, Crime.
“"There is someone out there who knows what happened that night and we are urging those individuals to find it in their heart to come forward."”
