Two men shot dead in London within eight days as police seek witnesses

Two men have been killed in separate shootings in London within eight days, prompting appeals for witnesses from the Metropolitan Police. The first incident occurred on the Fenwick estate near Willington Road in Willesden on 10 August, where a 25-year-old bus driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

Auguste-Marie Bile-aka Amoa, who worked as a bus driver, was found with gunshot injuries at 9.57 pm. Police confirmed he was declared dead shortly after emergency services arrived. An injured man was arrested on suspicion of murder but later released without further action.

Second fatal shooting in East Ham

The second fatal shooting took place in the early hours of 18 August on St Bartholomews Road in East Ham. A man believed to be in his 40s was found dead inside a vehicle after police and paramedics responded to reports of gunshots at around 3 am. No arrests have been made in connection with this incident.

Metropolitan Police detectives are treating both shootings as unrelated. They are appealing for anyone with information to come forward, particularly those who may have seen mopeds in the vicinity of the Fenwick estate around the time of the first shooting.

Police appeals and next steps

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police said they are following multiple lines of inquiry for both cases. For the Willesden shooting, officers are particularly interested in any footage or sightings of mopeds near Willington Road between 9.30 pm and 10.30 pm on 10 August.

Residents in both areas have been urged to check any private CCTV or doorbell footage that may assist the investigations. Police have not released further details about the victim in the East Ham shooting, including his identity or any potential motives.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that a post-mortem examination will be conducted for both victims to determine the exact causes of death. No further updates on arrests or charges are expected in the immediate future.
