POLICE have released new CCTV footage almost one year on from the fatal shooting of a schoolboy in a playground, known locally as “Teletubbies Park”.
Rene Graham, 15, died after being shot in Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance Park in Ladbroke Grove, west London, at around 7.20pm on July 21, 2024, during a “family fun day”.

Cops launched a murder investigation soon afterwards and have now released CCTV footage showing a suspect walking calmly towards the busy park before the shooting.
He can be seen entering the children’s play area before shooting Rene in the chest.
The teenager tragically died at the scene.
CCTV footage also shows the suspect chasing and attempting to shoot a second victim after gunning down Rene.
He then flees the area.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, who is leading the investigation said: “Rene was tragically shot dead during a busy music festival. Since the launch of the investigation, officers have reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV and taken numerous statements from witnesses.
“Rene’s family have continued to be supported throughout these enquiries, and they remain understandably devastated about his death.
“Recently, a man in his 20s was interviewed under caution in relation to Rene’s murder and we continue to investigate all lines of enquiry.”
Footage shows the suspect walking towards the park, appearing to pull a gun from his pocket and then running from the area shortly after the shooting.
Rene was understood to have been at Park Lime, an event planned by the Caribbean Music Association.

Posters for the event describe it as a “family fun day” with DJs, carnival stalls and food.
The annual pre-Notting Hill Carnival event promised face painting and games but warned no glass bottles were allowed.
DCI Foxwell added: “The person responsible for Rene’s murder opened fire in a busy park where dozens of people, including very young children, were enjoying themselves.
“Officers have appealed to the local community on multiple occasions – we believe there are people sitting on the name of the person responsible.
“This person, who was willing to take the life of Rene and risk the lives of others, remains in your community. Now is the time to get in touch with us to give Rene’s family the peace they deserve.
“Our thoughts, remain as ever, with them.”
