His family have been informed but he has not yet been formally identified following the incident, which was London’s 53rd murder of the year so far.
Detective Chief Inspector Richard Leonard said: ‘We are in the very early stages of our investigation and at this time need to hear from residents or people who were walking or driving through Brocks Drive around the time of the incident.
‘Did you see anyone acting suspiciously? No matter how insignificant it may seem, you could have crucial information.
‘A man has lost his life in violent circumstances and his family have been devastated. They need and deserve answers and the community can help us provide them.
