Police have named the victim of a fatal shooting in Hackney on Saturday, as they continue their appeal for witnesses to come forward.

Patrick Anzy, 31, was found seriously injured after reports of shots being fired in Gillett Square, Dalston, at 12.56am. Despite medics best efforts he was pronounced dead at the scene. 

A post-mortem examination is due to take place on May 11. No arrests have been made so far.

Detective Inspector Andy McDonald, of Specialist Crime, said: “I am very keen to speak to anyone who was in the Gillett Square area at the time of the shooting who may have witnessed the murder. 

“Patrick was attacked in Boleyn Road, N16, in the early hours of Saturday, 8 May and, at the time, I believe there may have been a number of people around who may have seen or heard something.

“Any information, no matter how small, could prove to be crucial to this investigation and help secure some justice for Patrick’s family.”

Anyone with information or any witnesses are urged to call 101, quoting reference CAD 412/08May. To remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers.
