Police seek Ethiopian man in orange wig after Enfield pub shooting
Metropolitan Police are looking for Abreham Woldegiworgis, captured on CCTV wearing a bright orange wig, in connection with the fatal shooting of Erdem Mustafa in Enfield.
On 19 October, 35-year-old Erdem Mustafa was killed by gunfire outside a pub on Hertford Road in Enfield, an incident investigators describe as a targeted attack. CCTV footage revealed a suspect wearing a grey beanie and a bright orange wig, later identified as 35-year-old Ethiopian national Abreham Woldegiworgis, who has ties to north London, Haringey and Brixton. Metropolitan Police, operating through Scotland Yard, have issued a public appeal for information while warning people not to confront the individual, who is believed to have significantly changed his look since the recording.
A separate 23-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and remains in custody. Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo emphasized the force’s commitment to securing justice for Mustafa and urged anyone with additional footage or tips to come forward.
