Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams, local policing commander for north-west London, said: ‘Our thoughts remain with Shazad’s family and friends at this unimaginably difficult time.
‘This incident will rightly cause concern across the community, but intelligence at this stage leads us to believe there is no wider threat to the public.
‘Detectives are conducting a thorough and fast-paced investigation, and locals can expect to see an uptick in police presence in the area.
‘Anyone with any information – particularly dashcam or doorbell footage from the time of the incident – is urged to speak to us as a matter of urgency.’
