Police are appealing for videos and pictures after a 28-year-old man died in a shooting during a gathering of up to 100 people.

Officers were called to Cheney Row Park in Waltham Forest shortly after midnight last night.

Soon afterwards, two men turned up at an east London hospital – one of them later died of gunshot wounds.

The other man, believed to be in his 30s, had suffered stab wounds. He has since been discharged from hospital and arrested in connection with the incident.

Det Chief Inspector Kelly Allen from the Metropolitan Police said: “My heart goes out to the family of the man who has lost his life in this reckless act of violence.

“I believe there were 50 to 100 people gathered in and around Cheney Row Park at the time of the shooting with music playing.

“I urgently need to speak with everyone who was at that event – even if you do not believe you saw anything significant, you need to come forward.
