The Metropolitan Police have offered a £20,000 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and prosecution of the killers of a father shot dead in a suspected “mistaken identity” attack.
Mahad Abdi Mohammed, 27, was killed after sustaining a gunshot wound to the head on March 20 on Waverley Road, Tottenham.
Mr Mohammed’s 26-year-old friend was also shot during the ordeal, sustaining non-life-changing injuries to his leg.
Police have appealed for information, releasing images of two individuals they want to speak to in connection with the shooting.

Detectives have also issued footage of a separate vehicle – a stolen blue Jaguar – which they believe was used to ferry the suspects to and from the Mitsubishi involved in the attack.
Officers say the clip forms only a fraction of the more than 6,000 hours of CCTV reviewed so far, equivalent to around 277 days of continuous footage.
On the night of the killing, Mr Mohammed had spent the early part of the evening at home with a friend.
As they broke their fast outside, a stolen Mitsubishi Outlander pulled up and the occupants got out before opening fire, hitting both men multiple times.

The vehicle was later used to escape the scene and was discovered burnt out the following morning in Runcorn Close.
Investigators now believe the attack was planned and targeted, and that the suspects may have been intending to harm someone else.
Appealing to members of the public to come forward with information, Mr Mohammed’s younger sister said: “To stay silent is to be complicit. To stay silent is to let a grieving mother suffer in confusion.
“To stay silent is to let a little boy grow up not knowing what happened to his father.”

“If you know something and you haven’t come forward, please think about that.
“Think about a family that cannot begin to heal because the truth is still hiding in the shadows. My brother deserves better. He deserves justice.”
Four men were previously arrested on suspicion of murder in March and April, but were subsequently released on bail pending further investigations.
The Met’s lead investigator, Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Woodsford, said: “Tottenham’s tightknit community has experienced the heart-breaking impact of gun crime.
“The loss of Mahad weighs heavy every day, but it will be particularly difficult for his loved-ones to carry throughout their first festive season without him.
“A time where loved-ones traditionally come together will be marked by an empty seat at the table.
“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.
“No matter how small you think the information is, please speak to us. It could be exactly what we need to locate those responsible.
“Myself and my team understand how daunting the information sharing process can be, but there are lots of ways to give evidence to the police.
“We can protect witnesses or request their evidence is anonymous and ensure you will receive special support every step of the way.”
Members of the public with information have been urged to call police on 101, quoting 7426/20MAR or visit the Major Incident Police Portal online.
