Kyrone Moodie
A promising life cut short
On the evening of Monday, 8 September 2025, police were called to reports of a shooting on New Park Road, in the Clapham area of south London.
At approximately 20:50 hrs, officers from Metropolitan Police Service attended the scene along with paramedics from the London Ambulance Service.
They found 27-year-old Kyrone Moodie suffering from gunshot wounds. A second man, aged about 20, was also wounded. Both were taken to hospital, but despite the efforts of medical staff, Kyrone died in the early hours of Tuesday, 9 September.
Who was Kyrone
His family has paid tribute to him, describing Kyrone as a “loving family man … humble, funny and God-worshipping.” They say he was “genuine and determined” and always ready to “help everyone he could.”
Those who knew him speak of a young man who held family close, valued his faith, and had a strong sense of purpose.
The investigation
The Metropolitan Police launched a murder investigation following the incident.
Detectives have appealed to anyone who was in the New Park Road area on the evening in question to check door-bell or CCTV footage for any relevant information.
They have asked the public to quote reference CAD 7805/08Sep25 when contacting them.
Community impact and response
The news has shaken the Clapham community, highlighting the ongoing concern around gun violence in London. Although overall firearms offences in London remain a small fraction of all crimes, each incident of this nature draws attention to the potential for devastating outcomes.
Local residents and community groups have expressed sorrow at the loss of such a young person, emphasising the need for collective efforts to address violence, support young people, and strengthen community cohesion.
Kyrone’s family have urged for those with information to come forward, seeking justice not only for Kyrone, but for the reassurance of the wider community.
What now
• The investigation remains ongoing. The police continue to review CCTV and door-bell footage, and are appealing to anyone with information to get in touch.
The family and community are calling for a renewed focus on prevention, on support for young men and families in vulnerable areas, and on ensuring no other household has to face the same devastating loss.
Kyrone’s story is a reminder of lives with so much potential being cut tragically short. His family’s description of him — humble, earnest, supportive — makes clear the human dimension behind the headlines. It is a loss not only for his loved ones, but for the community that knew him and the promise he represented.
