Recently, new footage has surfaced featuring a man whom police wish to interview regarding an unresolved murder that took place four years ago.

The Metropolitan Police is additionally offering a £20,000 reward for any information that leads to the prosecution of the individual responsible for the murder of Jason Diallo.

The 30-year-old was riding his bicycle along Balfour Road in Ilford in November 2020 when a vehicle struck him, resulting in him being shot in the head.

Today, Scotland Yard unveiled a clip of a man they wish to interview regarding the death of the father-of-two and the injury of another individual who was shot approximately 15 minutes later, roughly five miles away.

Appeal to identify man in connection with murder of Jason Diallo. Four years on from a fatal shooting in Ilford, detectives are releasing footage of a man they would like to identify. An investigation was launched on 1 November 2020 when officers were called to Balfour Road, Ilford at 22:14hrs following reports of a disturbance. Officers arrived at the scene and located Jason Diallo, 30, with multiple injuries. Unfortunately, he died at the scene. A witness reported seeing Jason cycling on the road before a car knocked him off his bike. Two individuals from the vehicle exited and shot Jason in the head before fleeing the scene. Fifteen minutes after Jason Diallo was shot, at 22:29hrs, police received reports of another shooting approximately five miles away on Garvary Road, E16. A 27-year-old man was found with a gunshot wound to his shoulder and was taken to the hospital with injuries that were classified as non-life-threatening. While providing his statement to the authorities, he stated he had been chased by three men in a car who initiated gunfire at him. A detailed inquiry was subsequently initiated by the Specialist Crime North department, resulting in the conviction and sentencing of two men for their roles in the incident. On Tuesday, 14 June 2022, Mushin Mohamed, 28 (born 06.04.1996) from Leytonstone Road, E15 was found guilty of murder and attempted murder at the Old Bailey and sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum of 35 years to serve.

Joseph was adjudged guilty of aiding an offender and handed a seven-year prison sentence after being recognized as someone who helped Mohamed and the unidentified assailants escape the scene.

In a statement post-sentencing in 2022, Mrs. Jason Diallo, who chose to remain anonymous, expressed that the night of her husband’s death will forever haunt her.

She remarked: ‘Jason was a dedicated father to our two children, the youngest just weeks old when Jason was tragically murdered.

‘They will eternally bear the consequences of the actions of those who took their father’s life.

‘He was his mother’s sole son and a caring brother to his younger sister, both of whom are profoundly affected and miss him terribly every single day.

‘For these individuals to slaughter a completely innocent stranger, who they had no connection with, in such a merciless and cowardly way is beyond understanding, and although no sentence can alleviate our suffering, it provides some solace knowing they will spend many years of their lives incarcerated.’
