Pool Party Victim Died From Gunshot Wound

A 34-year-old man killed at a reggae pool party in Surrey has been named as Ricardo Hunter, who died from a single gunshot wound.

The victim from Coulsdon was attacked during the event at a mansion in Headley where a woman, 36, also suffered a gunshot wound to her leg.

Officers are continuing their appeal for information after launching a murder inquiry.

Police from the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team are carrying out enquiries to find out the circumstances surrounding Mr Hunter's death.

Neighbours described hundreds of people gathering for the party, which had been advertised on social media.

And locals complained of loud music going on into the early hours of Monday when the shooting happened.

Broken glass and rubbish were left strewn around the property the following morning.

Police said a 38-year-old man from London arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder remains in custody.

A 30-year-old woman from London arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released on conditional bail until September.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Rymarz said of the shooting: "This was a shocking incident where a man lost his life and we are determined to bring those responsible to justice.

"Following the incident we quickly launched a large-scale police investigation to speak to anyone who was at the private pool party and gather all relevant information to establish what happened.

"This incident has understandably sent shockwaves through the Headley community and we are working with our Safer Neighbourhood Team colleagues to update and reassure residents.

"I would like to thank residents for their patience while our investigation continues and stress that we do not believe there is any ongoing risk to Headley residents."
