Tributes have poured in for Jesse Lloyd-Smith – a man who was fatally shot in Peckham. 

The twenty-year-old was shot on East Surrey Grove on Wednesday, July 10.

People have shared tributes remembering ‘his kindness, thoughtfulness, and compassion’ on a GoFundMe page.

The family is taking donation so they can ‘grieve away from home’, according to the page, with over £5,000 already raised.

A post to the GoFundMe page says: ‘All those that know Jesse, will know that he was the most incredible, intelligent, caring, and loving soul who lit up every room he entered.

‘His kindness, thoughtfulness, and compassion touched everyone around him and he did not deserve to have his life cut short so abruptly, in such a tragic way.’

Another commenter said: ‘My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Jesse’s family. I had the pleasure of spending some time with Jesse and his mum and in that time it was clear to see what a loving family they were. 

‘Jesse was remarkable young man – kind, caring, well mannered and having a genuine love for his dogs. A loss at such a young age and under such circumstances is truly heartbreaking. My prayers are with Jesse’s family and friends. May Jesse rest in eternal peace.’

There have been no arrests and police are still appealing for witnesses and information.
