Club gun death victim identified

Forensic experts outside SEOne club
Mr Davies died from a single gunshot wound to the head

Police have named a 24-year-old man shot dead in a south London nightclub.

Errol Davis was out with friends at the SEOne club in Weston Street, Bermondsey, when he was approached by a gunman and shot once at close range.

He died later in hospital from a gunshot wound to the head, a post-mortem examination found.

Trident, the Metropolitan Police unit set up to tackle gun crime in the black community, is investigating the murder, which happened early on Sunday.

Det Ch Insp Adnan Qureshi, leading the inquiry, has appealed for witnesses or anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.

He said: "I want to reassure anyone that their information will be treated sensitively and that there are measures in place to protect witnesses who may feel reluctant to come forward."

SEOne is underneath a railway arch just yards from the Britain at War Museum and the popular tourist destination The London Dungeon.

Several roads around busy London Bridge station were closed as a result of the forensic investigation.
