Reappeal for information on one-year anniversary of murder of Ronaldo Scott

Detectives investigating the murder of Ronaldo Scott in Brixton are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Exactly a year ago today, on Monday, 4 September 2023, Ronaldo Scott, 21, was fatally stabbed near Morrison Road, Brixton.

Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn from Specialist Crime, who leads the investigation, said: "Our thoughts remain with Ronaldo's loved ones, and we are still committed to bringing Ronaldo's killers to justice.

"I am extremely grateful to everyone who has come forward so far to help us piece together the circumstances of Ronaldo's death, but we know there are more people that we still haven't heard from and we really need those people to get in touch. It is important that we hear from you now.

"Although we have made significant progress with the investigation, we need to gather as much evidence and information as we can to secure a successful conviction.

"If you do not come forward now, then you may prevent a family from securing justice for their son, grandson, brother and uncle. We will continue to support Ronaldo's family throughout this painstaking process.

"If you saw, or have heard anything since, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, please contact us. At the very least your information could add certainty to details that we haven't yet confirmed. Please, give a grieving family a chance of securing justice for Ronaldo.

"We are reissuing the video and images of two men we believe are responsible for Ronaldo's murder. Do you know who these men are?

"It has been a year since Ronaldo's murder. A lot of allegiances and circumstances can change in that time. We understand that, for many reasons, people will not want to speak to the police, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously. They will not trace your call or your IP address."

In a statement, Ronaldo's family said "The last year has been incredibly painful for us as a family. We lost such a huge part of our family when Ronaldo was murdered. Our family will never be the same, we will never recover from this. We are pleading for anyone who can help us to come forward and either speak to the police or Crimestoppers. Please help us get justice. Ronaldo, we love you and miss you terribly."

An investigation was launched after police were called at 12:08hrs on Monday, 4 September 2023 to Morrison Road, SW9, to reports of a stabbing.

Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended and found 21-year-old Ronaldo Scott with multiple knife wounds.

Despite the efforts of police and medics to save him, Ronaldo was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
