A man shot dead in a club while celebrating a friend’s birthday was named by police today.
Arian Arthur, 22, was gunned down at The Jam nightspot in Shoreditch, east London, after an apparent row with a man just before 5.30am yesterday.
The victim, from Clapham, south London, was rushed to the nearby Royal London Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Detective Chief Inspector Scott Wilson, leading the investigation, said the shooting had taken place in the venue’s basement.
He added: “We believe between 30 and 50 people were inside the club at the time.
“The victim was with a group of five or six friends celebrating a friend’s birthday in the basement of the club.
“We believe there was an altercation, which resulted in the victim being shot.”
He added: “The suspect, a black man, was seen leaving hurriedly and we are also appealing to anyone who may have seen him.”
The club is on the junction of Shoreditch High Street and Old Street and would have been busy with clubbers at the time.
Mr Wilson said: “We are appealing for any witnesses inside the club or anyone who was passing the venue, which is on a busy junction, to come forward so we can piece together the events of that night.”
