Police have released this image of Croydon riot murder victim Trevor Ellis.
The 26-year-old was found shot dead in a car in Duppas Hill road at about 9.20pm on Monday, August 8 by police officers.
The father of four was taken to St George's Hospital with a gunshot wound to his head but was pronounced dead the next day.
A post-mortem gave cause of death as a gunshot wound.
Police said Mr Ellis had travelled to the Croydon area earlier on Monday in the company of a group of friends.
It is believed the group became involved in an altercation with a group of approximately nine individuals.
This altercation ended with a car chase involving three vehicles which started in Scarbrook Road, Croydon, passing along the A232 flyover into Duppas Hill Road where Mr Ellis was shot.
Detectives are appealing for anyone who witnessed the pursuit which involved a dark coloured estate car and silver hatchback - believed to have been driven by the group of nine - and a dark coloured hatchback, in which Mr Ellis was a passenger.
An incident room has been opened under DCI Neil Hutchison (Trident).
