Family appeals for witnesses after Hanif Redwood, 32, was fatally shot in Barking. They are demanding justice now.
The shooting happened on Linton Road near Factory 15 in Barking. The party Hanif attended was there, and someone shot him outside around 4:33 AM. He died then and there.
Four months later, his family is begging for information, and police are also looking for leads. They need information to arrest the killer and ensure the person is charged and fairly tried.
Hanif’s family described him as a “bright spark,” saying his light went out too soon. He was a loving, innocent, hard-working father and the family finds this heartbreaking, wanting justice.
Lead investigator Mark Rogers is speaking, stating Hanif was an innocent man. The death crushed family and friends, and police update the family as much as possible, although they haven’t gotten a conviction yet.
Rogers urges people with information to step forward. Were you out in Barking that Saturday night? Were you at the Factory 15 party? Did you see or hear anything odd?
Someone knows something, and even small details could help identify the killer. Little clues provide crucial assistance to the police.
