London: Fatal shooting of young man in Feltham prompts our £20,000 reward

Four years since a young man was gunned down in a residential estate on the border of Crane Park in Feltham, west London, we are appealing for anonymous information and offering a reward to help catch the killer.  

Edward Simpson was shot dead near a block of flats on Watermill Way on Friday 21 June 2019. Emergency services were called and arrived shortly after 11pm where the victim was found critically injured. Despite the efforts of paramedics, Edward died at the scene. 

At the time, neighbours spoke of hearing gunshots and the victim’s terrifying screams.

A post-mortem found that Edward, who was from Spelthorne in Surrey, had been killed by a single gunshot to the upper body. The weapon used was a prohibited pump action 12 bore shotgun. 

A number of arrests have been made. Police have told our charity that they are working on the theory that Edward was not the intended target but was caught in the middle of a feud between two rival drug dealers.

***We are offering up to £20,000 for information we exclusively receive – either online or by calling freephone 0800 555 111 - that leads to the arrest & conviction of anyone linked to the murder of Edward Simpson*** 

“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Edward who, after four years, are still feeling the pain of losing a loved one and are still waiting for justice.

“Our charity is independent of the police and takes information completely anonymously – meaning we’re not interested in who you are or your personal details.

“Fear and other reasons can prevent people from speaking up and helping and we know some are too scared to approach the authorities directly. Please remember that the charity Crimestoppers is here for you, when you’re ready, to tell us what you know. There’s no comeback. 

"We’ve kept our anonymity promise to every one of the millions of people who have trusted us over the decades with their information about crime. You can speak to a specially-trained call agent at our UK-based Contact Centre by calling freephone 0800 555 111 or you can use our simple and secure anonymous online form. You could make all the difference and help bring justice for Edward and all those who miss him so desperately.”
