Lady Margaret Road in Southall has reopened to the public, nearly 72 hours after a man was fatally injured in a shooting.
Khalid Abdi Farah was gunned down while he sat in a car in the early hours of Saturday (November 11) morning.
Police were called to the scene at 1.23am and the 26-year-old, from Greenford, was taken to a central London hospital where he was pronounced dead a few hours later.
Police sealed off part of the road as the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command launched a murder investigation. It finally reopened just before 10pm on Monday (November 13).
Mr Farah was sitting in a Ford Focus outside shops on Lady Margaret Road when a black SUV vehicle pulled up beside it.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Partridge, who is leading the investigation, said: “An occupant of the black SUV then approached the victim on foot and fired directly into the car.
“The suspect then returned to the SUV and it left the scene at speed.”
Police say the vehicle travelled along Lady Margaret Road towards Ruislip Road and then along Parkway heading towards the M4. No arrests have been made.
