Footage has been released of three men police wish to identify in connection with the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old martial artist.
Jordan Bari, of Stratford, was killed by a single bullet to the stomach on Monday, October 3 as he answered the door at a Bethnal Green flat.
The black-belt Tang Soo Do fighter died at the scene in Florida Street at about 8.45pm – 45 minutes after being shot.
Police investigating the case have issued CCTV footage showing three men running into Derbyshire Street and towards Brady Street after the killing.
Two of the men pass an item between themselves as they run.
Det Ch Insp Chris Jones, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are very eager to track down and speak with those shown running away from the fatal shooting in the CCTV footage we have released today.
“If you are one of the three men or know who they are please get in touch with us as soon as you can.”
He added: “I would also like to reiterate and appeal to anyone who was in the area around 8pm on Monday evening and saw anything suspicious in the vicinity of Florida Street to come forward and speak to police.”
Police are yet to recover a firearm.
Two men who were earlier arrested in connection with Mr Bari’s death – one 29, the other 21 – have both been released with no further action.
