Reward: £20,000 offered for information on West London murder of 15-year-old in broad daylight

15-year-old Rene Graham was shot a year ago in broad daylight during a festival in a London park. We're offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information, given exclusively and anonymously to Crimestoppers, leading to the arrest and conviction of those resonsible.

A murder investigation was launched after Rene was killed in Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance Park at around 19:20hrs on Sunday, 21 July, 2024. 

CCTV footage shows the suspect walking calmly towards the busy park before he enters via the children’s play area and shoots Rene in the chest. Rene was sadly declared dead at the scene. CCTV showed that after shooting Rene, the suspect chased after and attempted to shoot a second victim, before fleeing the area. 

Detectives investigating the fatal shooting say that the answers lay within a “small pocket of the community.”

Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell said: 

“Rene was tragically shot dead during a busy music festival. Since the launch of the investigation, officers have reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV and taken numerous statements from witnesses. 

“Rene’s family have continued to be supported throughout these enquiries and they remain understandably devastated about his death. 

“Recently, a man in his twenties was interviewed under caution in relation to Rene’s murder and we continue to investigate all lines of enquiry.”

DCI Foxwell added: 

“The person responsible for Rene’s murder open fired towards a busy park where dozens of people, including very young children, were enjoying themselves.   

“We are now in the position to release this footage and these images of a man we want to speak with. 

“Officers have appealed to the local community on multiple occasions following the belief that there are people sitting on the name of the person responsible. 

“This person, who was willing to take the life of Rene and risk the lives of others remains in your community. Now is the time to get in touch with us to give Rene’s family the peace they deserve.

“The investigation team is continuing to follow up all possible leads and remain committed to bringing Rene’s friends and family the justice they deserve. Our thoughts, remain as ever, with them.”

Alexa Loukas, London Regional Manager for Crimestoppers, said:
