William Cox

William Cox was shot in his home in Fenwick Place, Clapham on Valentine’s Day 2007.

He had earlier been in Acre Lane, Brixton and left there at 2.36pm to go home. He was later caught on CCTV with two other men walking along Landor Road in Clapham at 2.55pm, heading home. When his 12-year-old sister came home after leaving school around 3.30pm she heard a bang and when she went in, she found William Cox shot in the chest in his bedroom. He died in his sister’s arms. A friend gave William Cox some first aid and he was still alive when the ambulance arrived, and he was also treated by paramedics but died at the scene.
