Family's plea for truth after man shot dead in 'case of mistaken identity'
The family of a 'much-loved son, brother and father' who was shot dead in north London have appealed for information about his murder. Mahad Abdi Mohamed, 27, died after being shot in the head in Waverley Road, Tottenham, at 8.45 pm on March 20, the Metropolitan Police said. DCI Rebecca Woodsford said the suspects got out of a stolen Mitsubishi Outlander, which was later recovered, burned out, and fired the gunshots which killed him. Police previously said they had arrested four adult men on suspicion of murder who were subsequently bailed. DCI Woodsford, the senior investigating officer into the murder, said Mohamed's family were devastated by the murder. Appealing for information, DCI Woodsford said: 'We believe he is a completely innocent person in this, and actually this is a case of mistaken identity. I believe this was a pre-planned shooting, although I also believe that Mahad was killed mistakenly; those suspects were out that night to murder someone and cause serious harm. 'And I truly believe that somebody does know some information about this. If you think you have information about the people that could be involved, the people that might have helped or burned the vehicle out, I'm appealing for people to come forward.' Mohamed's younger sister, Amal Abdi Mohamed, 23, said her brother was a loving father to his son and was planning to get married in the summer. Mohamed had worked at Waterloo Station, as well as part-time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Royal Ascot as a security worker. Amal added: 'My beloved brother is gone, and we still don't know why. Someone knows what happened to him, and yet we are here with no answer, no justice, and just a family torn apart trying to navigate through the pain. 'He was taken away from us through gun violence. A bullet didn't just take his life, it tore through our family, through our heart, and it's truly shocking, it's devastating, and it's so senseless, because this type of violence should never be normal. 'It should never be something a family ever has to expect, prepare for, or live with. He had this rare gift of making people feel seen, heard and loved, and if you were having a bad day, you would just want to be around him.' Many of Mohamed's family members were in tears as they visited the scene of his murder as part of the appeal for information. More Trending Amal said that his five-year-old son 'looked up to him like a superhero'. 'How do you look at a child who adored him day and night, and tell them that he's gone and you don't have the answers why? That boy will have to grow up with no dad,' she added. 'If you think you may know anything or have seen anything, you may think it doesn't matter, but it might be the key to giving us an answer, and it might be the thing that finally lets our family take a breath. To stay silent is to be complicit.' Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.

Family of 'loving father' shot dead in suspected mistaken identity issue plea
The investigation so far has led police officers to believe whoever killed Mahad Abdi Mohamed set out to hurt someone else in a pre-meditated and targeted attack The family of a 'much-loved son, brother and father' who was shot dead in a case of suspected mistaken identity have appealed for information about his murder. Mahad Abdi Mohamed, a much-loved son, brother and dad, died of a gunshot wound to the head following a shooting in Waverley Road, Tottenham at 8.45pm on Thursday, 20 March. He had spent the evening shortly before the shooting with his friend at their home. They were breaking their fast outside when a stolen Mitsubishi Outlander approached and the suspects inside opened fire, striking Mahad multiple times. Multiple emergency services responded and tried to save him, but he later sadly died at hospital. His friend, another man, aged 26, was treated in hospital for a non-life-changing gunshot wound to the leg. The investigation so far has led officers to believe whoever killed Mahad set out to hurt someone else in a pre-meditated and targeted attack. Four men were arrested on suspicion of murder in March and April. They were questioned and released on bail pending further investigations. Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Woodsford, leading the Met's investigation, said: 'This tragic event, and Mahad's death, has had a profound impact on the community and all those who loved him. Someone out there knows what happened. And that person, or people, must come forward. 'Regardless of how small you think your information is, please share it with us. It could be the missing link we need to secure justice for Mahad and his family. 'We are interested in hearing from those who saw anything suspicious in Waverley Road, Tottenham on the night of Thursday, 20 March, or witnessed a silver Mitsubishi Outlander, nearby just before 20:45hrs. This car was stolen and used to drive the suspects to and from the scene. It was found burnt-out in Runcorn Close, N17, the following morning. 'We understand how daunting the information sharing process can be, but there are lots of ways to talk either myself or my investigation team and we can ensure you will be supported every step of the way'. Mr Abdi Mohamed's younger sister, Amal Abdi Mohamed, 23, said he was a 'loving father' to his son and was planning to get married in the summer. She added that her brother had worked at Waterloo Station, as well as part-time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Royal Ascot as a security worker. Appealing for information on her brother's death, the 23-year-old said: 'My beloved brother is gone, and we still don't know why.
