Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a man was shot in Peckham.

The victim suffered a gunshot wound shortly before midnight on Friday night on Peckham Hill Street, the Met Police said.

His injuries are not thought to be life-changing, the force added.

The incident took place streets away from where 20-year-old Jess Lloyd-Smith was shot dead in broad daylight last summer.

Mr Lloyd-Smith, who was described as an “intelligent, caring, and loving soul” was shot in East Surrey Grove, Peckham, shortly before 5pm on July 10.

A Met spokesperson said: “Police are investigating a shooting that took place last night at 23:25hrs on Peckham Hill Street, SE15.

“A man sustained a gunshot wound. His injuries are non-life changing.

“Witnesses and anyone with video footage are encouraged to call police on 101 quoting CAD 8406/31JAN25.”

A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 11.28pm last night (31 January) to reports of a shooting in Peckham High Street, SE15.

“We sent an ambulance crew, a paramedic in a fast response car and an incident response officer to the scene. We also dispatched a trauma team from London’s Air Ambulance which consisted of a paramedic and a doctor in car.

“We treated one person for a wound at the scene and took him to a major trauma centre.”
