The family of a dad who was shot after leaving a silent disco in Croydon have released another image of the victim, hoping that it will “serve as a reminder to anyone who may have information about his murder”.

Leroy Mitchell, 35, was shot at 5am on October 2, 2021, after leaving a silent disco at a house on Birdhurst Road.

It is now more than a year since the father-of-three’s death, but nobody has been sentenced for his murder.

Leroy’s mother says that he was also a “father, brother, uncle and friend to so many” and that the family “just want some answers”.

The footage and a re-enactment of the incident featured on the BBC’s Crimewatch Live programme earlier in the year in the hope that someone would forward with information that could help the investigation.

Leroy’s mother, Maura, said: “It’s been just over a year since Leroy was murdered in Croydon, he was only 35. A year is a long time especially without justice.

“As a family our hearts are broken.

“We know that nothing will bring Leroy back, but we just want some answers.

“We’re pleading for help to find those responsible for his murder.

“If you have any information, please contact the police or Crimestoppers.

“Leroy was a father, brother, uncle and friend to so many.

“Just like your family members, I wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone, please help us.”

Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “It is now more than a year since the brutal murder of Leroy, and we remain determined in getting the answers his family desperately need.

“We will continue to investigate this crime and the passage of time will not offer protection to the perpetrators.

“The Met is committed to removing illegal firearms from the streets of London, and the murder of Leroy is a stark reminder of the devastation they cause not just to the victims of gun crime but also to their families and loved ones.”
