Pictured: Man, 25, 'with world at his feet' killed in drive-by shooting at Brixton BBQ

This is the first picture of a young man gunned down in a drive-by shooting at a barbecue in Brixton.

Keanu Taylor, 25, was killed when attackers opened fire from a car in Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, in the early hours of Saturday.

Three other people aged 21, 47 and 70 were also injured, but their wounds were not life-threatening or changing.

In a statement released through the Metropolitan Police, Mr Taylor’s family said: “Keanu was a loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, grandson and friend.

“He was loved by everyone and his smile would light up a room.

“Keanu had the world at his feet, and he’s left a huge hole in our family, our hearts are absolutely broken.”

Police and the ambulance service arrived minutes after the shooting but Mr Taylor died in hospital from his injuries.

Anyone with information can contact police on 101, quoting CAD 557/2May, or to remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online.
