Police say the charity Crimestoppers is offering up to £20,000 for information leading to those responsible for the fatal shooting of bus driver Auguste-Marie Bile-Aka Amoa, 25, in Clapham. The Met has also released new CCTV footage of a moped.

The Metropolitan Police announced on 12 November 2026 that the independent charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information leading to the identification and conviction of those responsible for a fatal shooting in Clapham, south London.

Auguste-Marie Bile-Aka Amoa, known as Bile-Aka to his family, was a 25-year-old bus driver. He died from gunshot wounds in Willington Road on Monday, 10 August. Police are keeping an open mind about the motive but believe he was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was not the intended target.

Detectives have released new CCTV footage which they believe shows the two suspects on a moped. One clip shows it turning from Landor Road into Willington Road at 21:56 on 10 August. A second shows it leaving along Kings Avenue at 21:57.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on 10 August and later released with no further action. No other arrests have been made.

Detective Chief Inspector Claire Guiver, who leads the investigation, urged anyone with information to come forward, however small it may seem, and said witnesses would be supported. Bile-Aka's family described him as loving and kind, said he loved his job, and asked for people with information to help secure justice.

People can call police on 101 quoting reference 8379/10AUG, or use the Major Incident Police Portal. Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through its website.
