A murder investigation was launched after Mr Makwanya was shot in the head. Police were called at 10.06pm on Friday (June 9), to reports of a shooting in Wellesley Road.
Officers were notified that a 24-year-old man had been taken to a south London hospital suffering a gunshot injury to his head. He died upon arrival at the hospital.
At this stage, detectives believe that Makwanya was a passenger in a Volkswagen car which was being driven along Wellesley Road. Police believe a motorcyclist, with a pillion passenger, pulled up alongside the car and shots were fired.
The car driver – who suffered minor injuries – took the critically injured man to hospital, where police were alerted. Detective Inspector Domenica Catino of the Homicide and Major Crime Command appealed for information.
He said: “Croydon town centre would have been busy with people out and about on a Friday night and I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and saw the events unfolding to contact police.
