Shocking moment Karim Samms, 16, shot dead in North Woolwich before suspects flee

This is the shocking moment a 16-year-old boy was shot dead in east London before the alleged killers fled through the streets.

CCTV footage from North Woolwich captured a Nissan Juke driving through the roads before arriving at Pier Parade.

The car appears to be parked before two men are seen heading across to where Karim Samms and a friend were sitting.

The footage appears to show at least one of the men produce a gun and open fire.

Moments later, the men are seeing running across a nearby road as they make their escape past shocked bystanders.

Karim was shot in the chest and found injured in Roebourne Way on April 7.

Emergency services raced on the scene at 10.44pm but Karim, who had been meeting a friend, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another man in his 20s was found shot in Claremont Close later the same evening and was taken to hospital. He was later discharged.

Police have released the footage in a bid to track down the vehicle.

​Karim was about to become a qualified fitness instructor at Fight for Peace, a boxing academy close to where he died which trains and educates youths to keep them out of gangs.

After his death, his mother Joyce told the Standard: “He was innocent, he wasn’t related to whatever problem they had - that’s what makes it so heartbreaking. He didn’t have a bad bone in his body.

“He was at the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Two 17-year-old boys and another teen, aged 18, have been arrested over the shooting and bailed until August.
