---

18-year-old Mahad Hussein Ali killed at event on Coronation Road

The teenager who was killed outside a warehouse party in Park Royal last Thursday has been named as Mahad Hussein Ali, from Crouch End. He had celebrated his eighteenth birthday just over a month before he was killed.

Police were called at 2.35am on 29 June to the warehouse on Coronation Road following reports of a fight. They found Mahad suffering from stab wounds and administered first aid before he was taken to a central London hospital by the London Ambulance Service. He was pronounced dead just under two hours later.

Victim: Mahad Hussein Ali

Although formal identification has yet to take place detectives are satisfied that the victim is Mahad Hussein Ali. His next-of-kin have been informed.

At this stage they believe detectives believe that around 40-50 people were in attendance at the party, although there could have been more. In the early hours of the morning an altercation began inside the venue and then may have spilled outside, which resulted in Mahad being stabbed.

Detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command are investigating. Detective Chief Inspector Luke Marks, who is leading the investigation, said, "It is of paramount importance that those that were at the party and saw the events leading up to the stabbing or the incident itself come forward and speak to us. I appreciate that there maybe some apprehension about coming forward but I would ask that they do not delay in talking to us. Mahad's family have been left completely devastated and are desperately seeking answers as to why he was set upon and what sparked the altercation.

"Mahad suffered significant injuries and there is a strong possibility that person or people involved in the attack would have got blood stains on their clothing. I would appeal to anyone who knows that a loved one attended the party who either washed or threw away items of clothing when they returned home to approach us. Please do not remain silent. If you have the slightest indication that your loved one may have been involved now is the time to say something. To those mothers, sisters and girlfriends shielding the person or people responsible, please do the right thing."
