The 23-year-old stepson of former gangster Dave Courtney has died after being shot in east London.
Police found Genson Courtney in a black Volkswagen Golf on Banning Street, Greenwich, with gunshot wounds to his head and shoulder late on Sunday night.
He was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich where he was pronounced dead early this morning.
Officers from the Met's Trident unit, which specialises in gun crime, have launched a murder investigation.�
They have appealed for anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious to contact them.
"At this early stage it is believed a male suspect may have ran from the scene in the direction of Christchurch Way shortly after the shooting," DCI Mark Gower said.
"I would like to reassure anyone concerned about contacting the police that Trident has great expertise in protecting witnesses.
"There are a huge variety of measures that can be put in place to protect you."
