The emergency services treated Erdem for gunshot wounds, but he was sadly later pronounced dead at the scene. Specialist officers are supporting his next-of-kin. Investigators continue to urge anyone with information about the incident, which is believed to be a targeted attack, to contact police. Who was Erdem Mustafa? Erdem was a regular at the Sun and Woolpack and described as ‘a nice guy’ by staff. Meanwhile, another pub regular told Metro: ‘He was a well-known face and lived nearby. We are very shocked by this. As far as I’m concerned, he was a decent bloke. ‘His family are good people and his mum is devastated.’ A witness told Metro: ‘There were three shots, then everyone dived for cover. It was clear one man had been hit. ‘There was no lead-up to the incident; it looked targeted to me. It was terrifying; everyone was in total shock.’ Another said: ‘I know the family of the [victim]. A mother has lost a son and it’s heartbreaking. ‘I heard the shots and originally did not know who had been hit. When I found out, I was upset. I was shaken; I have not been able to sleep.’ Flowers were seen on the door of the Sun and Woolpack on Thursday. Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo, who is leading the investigation, said: ‘We remain committed to securing justice for Erdem as our thoughts remain with his loved ones at this unimaginably hard time. ‘While I am pleased my team have made an arrest, our work continues at pace to investigate the full circumstances around Erdem’s murder. We are now releasing the details and images of a man we urgently need to speak to in connection with the incident. ‘We are carrying out a number of enquiries to trace him but are also asking for the public’s help. If you recognise him or have any information on his whereabouts please come forward. ‘We are still appealing for anyone with wider information about the shooting, including any CCTV, doorbell, dashcam or mobile phone footage, to also contact us.’ Anyone with information should contact police on 101.
