Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters

DETECTIVES have released images of a man they believe may have carried out the shotgun murder of a popular young man a year ago.

Tikquaan Stephenson-Walters died in Bravington Road, Queen’s Park, after a drive-by in a suspected mistaken-identity attack.

The new footage shows the murder suspect on a white Honda moped shortly before the attack at around 11pm on September 4 2024.

So far three men have been arrested but all have been released without charge.

A statement from Tikquaan’s family yesterday said: “The family and community are utterly broken by the devastating loss of such a special, innocent life. This heart-breaking tragedy serves as a reminder that Tikquaan could have been anyone’s son, brother, nephew, or friend.

“Your information could be the key to bringing justice for Tikquaan and providing closure to his grieving family, friends, and our community.”

A Crime-stoppers reward of up to £20,000 remains on offer for information that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the murder.

Officers and the London Ambulance Service were called to help Tikquaan but he died from gunshot injuries in the street.

Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, from the Metropolitan Police Service Specialist Crime Command, said: “Today marks a year since Tikquaan was fatally shot in a quiet residential street.

“His family, understandably, remain heartbroken and my team and I remain dedicated to bringing to justice whoever was responsible for this wicked violence.

“We have been working tirelessly over the past year and have made three arrests in connection with Tikquaan’s murder. We are continuing to make enquiries and today we will be speaking with members of public in the local area, handing out leaflets about our investigation in the hope it jogs someone’s memory.

“We are particularly keen to identify a man who was captured on CCTV in the vicinity before the attack took place.

“We have today released footage in the hope someone recognises him.

“I must reiterate my appeal for anyone who has not yet spoken to us to come forward and contact ourselves or Crimestoppers anonymously.”

Alexa Loukas, the London regional manager at the charity Crimestoppers, said: “We know it can be really hard to share information, especially if you’re worried about consequences. If you have any information about Tikquaan’s murder, Crimestoppers, an independent charity, can help. We will pass on what you know without ever asking for your personal details, so you stay completely anonymous. This means you won’t have to deal with the police, go to court, or give a witness statement.

“Tikquaan was a cherished young man whose life was tragically cut short. His family, friends, and the whole community deserve justice. Your information could be key to making that happen.”

The Crimestoppers award is available for three months.
