The name of a victim of a fatal shooting in Acton has been released by the Metropolitan Police as they appeal for more evidence. 

Police were called at approximately 2:15am on Thursday 26th January after there were reports of a seriously injured man in Rosebank Way, W3, and that man died despite the best efforts of emergency services. 

Fernando Johnson, 23, from the Shepherd's Bush area was the victim and his next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers. 

A post mortem held on the 27th January found the cause of death to be due to a gunshot wound. 

On Saturday 28th January, officers arrested a man in his late 20s on suspicion of murder, he was taken into custody and has since been released on bail. 

Detective Chief Inspector Matt Denby, senior investigating officer, said: "My team are making good progress with their enquiries but, as always, we are keen to hear who might have been in and around the area at the time of this incident. 

"A web portal has been launched for members of the public to upload material that could assist our investigation directly to us.  

"I urge you to check doorbell cameras and dash cam footage for anything you may have captured - it doesn't matter if you think it is insignificant, we still want to receive it." 

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or tweet @MetCC and quote CAD 514/26Jan. 

Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or by visiting Crimestoppers-uk.org.
