This is the first picture of a young man gunned down as he walked home from his local shop in west London.

He was walking home along Askew Road after a trip to a convenience store.

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the chest and abdomen.

Murder squad detectives have appealed for information about a white Range Rover found burned out near the crime scene.

No arrests have been made.

Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley said: “Alexander was just 20 years old when his life came to an end in such a tragic way.

“We are determined to bring those responsible for this unnecessary and terrifying violence to justice. We continue to appeal for witnesses who may have seen or heard what happened to come forward.

“The white Range Rover seen in the area and later found burned out is also a key part of the investigation.

“We send our heartfelt condolences to Alexander’s family at this time.”

Any witnesses or anyone with any information should call 101 quoting CAD 224/08June, or tweet @MetCC.
