Tyrone Rowe was shot in Tottenham while in a car with three friends on 7 October 2001.
They had been in a battered red Ford Fiesta car at around 1.30am looking for a party when they encountered a group of six or seven black men in Caradon Way who drove up to them, two of whom then shot at them with hand guns. Tyrone Rowe was shot in the head and died in the Royal Free Hampstead Hospital on 11 October 2001. The driver of the red Ford Fiesta car was also shot in the chest but survived. He had managed to stagger two miles to an address whilst bleeding heavily and was then himself taken to a hospital but discharged himself the following day.
The gunmen had fired a total of eleven shots. Before firing the shots, the men were said to have calmly walked up to the battered red Ford Fiesta car.
It was said then that three of the black men then drove off in what was thought to have been a green Chrysler Voyager people carrier car, off along Turnpike Lane. The men were said to have been wearing hoods.
Police said that they were looking for a vital witness that was seen in the area who they described as black, aged about 30-years of age and wearing a three-quarter length black leather jacket.
It was thought that the shooting might have been a case of mistaken identity.
