Man killed in triple shooting was father-to-be

A man who died in a triple shooting in south London was an entrepreneur who was due to become a father, police have said.

Curtis Green, 30, was fatally injured on Wells Park Road, Sydenham, at about 10:00 GMT on Sunday. He was treated at the scene for gunshot wounds but died a short time later.

A woman and one other person were taken to hospital with gunshot injuries, which were not life-threatening, the Metropolitan Police said.

Mr Green ran a clothing brand and a fitness company and has been described by his family as "happy, excited and beautiful".

Detectives say they want to hear from people who went to a party that they believe Mr Curtis went to the previous night on nearby Hensford Gardens.

Det Ch Insp Samantha Townsend said: "Three people were shot, and sadly one has lost their life. We have been working tirelessly in order to establish the circumstances."

Some residents previously told the BBC they heard screaming and shouting in the area before the incident and that a party had gone on nearby throughout the night.

No arrests have been made so far, the Met said.

Mr Green's family said he was due to become a father in five months' time.

The force has added that his family was being supported by specialist officers.
