Lambeth: Man left outside London hospital with gunshot wound dies

A man has died in south London after being left outside a hospital with a gunshot wound.

The Metropolitan Police launched a murder investigation after the man, in his 20s, was dropped off by the hospital in an unknown car.

Officers were called at around 2.30am after the man was found. He died around 30 minutes later.

Detectives believe he was shot on the Westbury Estate in St Rule Street, Lambeth.

No arrests have been made and a crime scene is still in place while detectives carry out inquiries.

Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe said the victim was “a young man with his whole life ahead of him, a life that has been tragically cut short”.

He added: “A young man has lost his life and his family desperately want answers.

“My officers and I are working to bring them the justice they deserve and your information could be a critical part of our investigation.”
