B-O-B Squad Still Trying To Solve Year-Old Shooting


Police are appealing one year on for witnesses in a bid to solve the brutal execution-style murder of a 23 year-old man outside his South London home in the early hours.

Operation Trident detectives – who investigate violent black-on-black crime – are hoping the anniversary reminder – plus a £20,000 reward - will prompt new leads in the case.

Matthew Clement (pictured) was shot in the chest and back in Howson Road, Brockley at 2:00am on May 30, last year and pronounced dead at the scene.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil Hutchison of Trident said: “A year ago, this young man was shot outside his home in what appears to be a planned attack.

“We believe that there are people out there who saw what happened or who know who did this. We are still appealing to these people to come forward, speak to police and give Matthew’s family a chance at getting some justice for losing their loved one.”



Sullivan Clement, Matthew’s Father said: “I want to plea to the public to please help the police. The person who killed Matthew needs to be caught.

“If you have any information, even if it is a little, it will help to lead the police to the person that killed Matthew. That person killed once and they could do it again.

“I am not speaking for myself alone. I am talking for the public - we all have sons and daughters in the community. 



“Please try to help the police to find the person who committed this crime. The police are there to try to protect us all. Please come forward and help them.”
