Two men have died after a car chase that ended with a Deliveroo driver being knocked off his moped and another man fatally shot. The victims, both aged in their 20s, were killed in Railton Road, Brixton, shortly before 8pm on Sunday after locals heard shots ring out and vehicles crashing.
Police said two cars were involved in a chase when one hit a moped and a number of parked cars. A man then got out of the crashed car and was chased and shot dead by a gunman from the second car.
On Monday, a Deliveroo driver working near the scene said he knew one of the victims, who had been making his last delivery of the day when he died. Paulo Silva, 42, described him as a “good boy” and “young” and said he had been planning to go to Brazil in December.
