Police appeal for information after man found shot dead in car in London

Police are appealing for information after a man was found shot dead in a car in east London.

Masum Miah, 42, was found by officers at around 3am on Tuesday morning on St Bartholomew's Road, East Ham, after they responded to reports of gunshots.

He was found with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene, the Metropolitan Police said. No arrests have yet been made.

Detective Chief Inspector Dan Whitten said: "Our thoughts remain with Masum's family as they come to terms with his tragic death.

"We are continuing to appeal to anyone with information that could assist our enquiries to come forward."

Police have cordoned off the road and set up an evidence tent behind a white Toyota Prius, which had crashed into a black Range Rover.

Abdul Qadir, director of the nearby estate agent ARQ Homes, said the white Prius had collided with his Range Rover.

He said: "Just past 3am my car alarm went off. My daughter heard the car alarm go off and she heard the shots, like a bomb. She heard the impact of two vehicles. And I heard people running off.

"It's the third time my car's been collided with - so I thought 'It's 3am, I'm not going out to investigate'.

"I just went back to sleep, because I know this happens around here.

"Then up to 10 minutes after, I heard people gathering. They said someone had been shot."

Any witnesses or those with information have been asked to contact police.

DCI Whitten added: "If you were in the area at the time of the shooting, witnessed anything suspicious or have any dashcam, CCTV or doorbell footage that could support our investigation, we urge you to get in touch.

"No matter how big or small the information you have is, it could prove vital in helping us piece together the full circumstances."
