A memorial service for a ‘humble’ pub goer will be held at his regular watering hole, which happens to be the same spot he was gunned down.
Erdem Mustafa, 35, was killed in a shooting near the Sun and Woolpack pub on Hertford Road in Enfield on October 19.
Emergency services were called at around 9.30pm and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Over a month after the shooting, the pub is planning to hold an ‘afternoon of remembrance’ event at the venue.
It is set to take place on November 22 from 2pm and 4pm.
Family and loved ones are encouraged to attend to honour Erdem, who also went by Memz.
Around 100 balloons will be released and attendees can sign a book of condolences.
During the event, only soft drinks will be served and the bar will be closed.
A GoFundMe page set in memory of Erdem reads: “We are coming together as a community, to remember Memz, celebrate his life, and show our love, and support for the two children and loving family he leaves behind.”
A friend of Erdem previously said: “Rest in peace Mem, you didn’t deserve that.”
“From Eastfield class mates to reminiscing in the pub about it years later, you was humble, straight-forward and always respectful.”
“Thoughts are with your children and all the family.”
“Rest in peace bro.”
A manhunt is still ongoing as police are trying to find 35-year-old Abreham Woldegiworgis in connection with the incident.
He is described as an Ethiopian national, who has links to Enfield, Haringey and Brixton.
The Metropolitan Police has urged anyone who sees him not to approach, but contact police immediately.
CCTV images have been released, but the Met has said it is believed he has since significantly altered his appearance.
It comes after a 23-year-old man was arrested on October 26 on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
According to the force, it is believed to be a targeted attack.
Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo, who is leading the investigation, said: “We remain committed to securing justice for Erdem as our thoughts remain with his loved ones at this unimaginably hard time.”
“While I am pleased my team have made an arrest, our work continues at pace to investigate the full circumstances around Erdem’s murder.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101, quoting CAD 7050/19OCT26, or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to remain anonymous.
Police have also published a list of London’s most wanted people, including others sought in connection with serious offences.
