Man wanted over Enfield fatal shooting may have changed appearance

Detectives are seeking the public's help to locate Abreham Woldegiworgis, 35, who is wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of Erdem Mustafa in Enfield. Police stated that Woldegiworgis is believed to have significantly altered his appearance since a CCTV image was released last week. He is an Ethiopian national with known links to Enfield, Haringey, and Brixton.

Erdem Mustafa, also 35, was shot at a pub on Hertford Road, Enfield. Officers responded to the incident around 9:30pm on October 19, where Mustafa was treated for gunshot wounds by emergency services. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Specialist officers are providing support to his family.

Investigation Progress and Public Appeal

The investigation into Mustafa's death is being led by Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo. He confirmed that while an arrest has been made, the investigation continues at pace to understand the full circumstances. A 23-year-old man was arrested on October 26 on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and remains in police custody.

Chief Inspector Bhangoo stated, "We remain committed to securing justice for Erdem as our thoughts remain with his loved ones at this unimaginably hard time." He added, "We are now releasing the details and images of a man we urgently need to speak to in connection with the incident." Police are appealing for anyone who recognises Woldegiworgis or has information on his whereabouts to come forward immediately, but stressed that he should not be approached.

Officers are conducting enquiries in areas connected to Woldegiworgis. The public is also asked to provide any CCTV, doorbell, dashcam, or mobile phone footage that could assist the investigation into the events before, during, or after the shooting. Information can be reported to police on 101, quoting CAD 7050/19OCT26, or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
