A bus driver shot dead in south-west London was in the ‘wrong place at the wrong time’, police have said.

Auguste-Marie Bile-aka Amoa, 25, died of his injuries after the attack near a pub in Clapham on August 10.

Three months after the shooting, no one has been charged in connection with the killing despite an extensive manhunt.

Detectives do not believe that Bile-Aka was not the intended target of the shooting, which happened outside a pub just before 10pm.

They have now released footage of a moped leaving the scene seconds after gunshots were heard.

The victim’s family are ‘devastated by the horrific murder’.

They said in a statement they hoped the footage and reward would help to bring their son’s killer to justice.

They said: ‘Nothing can bring back his smile or fill the space he has left in our lives.

‘We appeal for any information to help establish the truth and secure justice for him’.

The family added: ‘He was an amazing young man full of love, kindness and an enthusiasm for life.

‘Bile-aka was a dedicated bus driver, a job that he loved and was so committed to. Bile-aka touched so many hearts, and the pain of losing him is impossible to put into words.

‘But if you know something, you may be able to help us find the answers we so desperately need. Please stand with us in our grief, honour Bile-aka’s memory, and help ensure that justice is served.’

On the day after the killing, the victim’s uncle went to the scene. He told : ‘He was the most lovely guy. This does not make any sense. It seems impossible this has happened.’

The first clip released by police shows the moped turning right from Landor Road into Willington Road, where the shooting took place, at 9.56pm.

The second clip catches the same moped leaving the area along Kings Avenue at 9.57pm.

Witnesses told they had seen a flash, possibly from the barrel of a gun, and a moped leaving the scene. 

Detective Chief Inspector Claire Guiver said: ‘The loss of Bile-Aka continues to hurt his family, as they are left with a void that cannot be filled as a result of this tragic incident.

‘There is someone out there who knows what happened that night, and we are urging those individuals to find it in their heart to come forward. No matter how small you think the information is, please speak to us. It could be exactly what we need to find those responsible.’

A memorial with flowers was set up at the crime scene following Bile-Aka’s death, with friends and family gathering to pay tribute.

A close friend of the victim told : ‘He was such a lovely guy. We were close friends; he called me every day. He loved driving the bus and was a happy soul. I’m heartbroken.’

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on August 10 and later released with no further action following police enquiries. No further arrests have been made.
