A 40-year-old man has been named as the victim of a fatal shooting that occurred during a memorial service in west London. Levi Davidson, also referred to in some reports as Lee Davidson, was pronounced dead at the scene in East Acton on the evening of Friday, 2 October 2026, after sustaining a gunshot wound to the chest. Metropolitan Police officers were called to the junction of Braybrook Street and Erconwald Street shortly before 8pm following multiple reports of gunshots. Paramedics from the London Ambulance Service attended but were unable to save Mr Davidson's life. A post-mortem examination later confirmed the cause of death as a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. Detectives believe the shooting took place while dozens of people, including children, were gathered nearby for a memorial event. Police estimate that between 40 and 50 individuals were present in the area at the time. Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, who is leading the investigation, described the incident as a 'senseless act of violence' and said the family is being supported by specialist officers. No arrests have been made so far, and officers are urgently appealing for witnesses to come forward. Investigators are particularly interested in speaking to anyone who was in the vicinity between 6pm and 8pm, as well as anyone with photographs, video, dashcam, doorbell or mobile phone footage that could assist the inquiry. Members of the public with information are asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference CAD7011/02OCT26, or to call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and Communities Secretary Angela Rayner attended, alongside King Charles III, whose message highlighted shared humanity. The attack, which killed two and injured three, has left the Jewish community feeling increasingly vulnerable, with speakers calling for societal change.
