'HE'S GONE!'

Man’s anguished cries as pal is gunned down outside Caribbean restaurant in west London

Neighbours said they heard a “loud bang” in Walham Grove, off North End Road, last night

A MAN has been killed on a quiet street outside a west London restaurant after being shot in the head at close range.

The shooting, which took place last night at 9.30pm in Walham Grove, off North End Road, Fulham, led police to "swarm" the area, neighbours said.

Eyewitnesses said the victim was shot as he climbed into the passenger door of a grey Renault.

The gunman then fled the scene, with the victim lying half in the car and half on the pavement.

Local man Jorge Pardo said: "I heard a noise like a firecracker and then saw two guys running in different directions.

"I heard shouting and we went downstairs and there were people in the road calling the police.

"A moment later a black fancy car pulled up and one of the guys that I saw running away jumped out and ran over to the body.

"He desperately held the body and he was shouting 'he's gone, he's gone'.

"He then shouted his name, but I couldn't work out what it was. The body was still in the car."

A manager at local restaurant Jerky’s told the "Two men came into the shop.

 

"They ordered, sat down, ate and enjoyed their meal before the eventually left. I think it was their first time in here, I’ve never seen them before but everything was calm and cool. No-one was fighting, that’s why we’re all so shocked.

"They’d just left and crossed the road when I heard a loud bang. We didn’t see what happened. We just saw a car on the other side of the road. We didn’t go over as we didn’t want to get involved."

"A post-mortem examination and formal identification will be arranged in due course."
