Tributes have been paid to a man who was gunned down in west London.

Jordan Rodney, 30, from Northolt, was shot on Claxton Grove in Hammersmith on Wednesday at about 11.19pm.

He was rushed to the hospital where he fought for his life before succumbing to his injuries the following day.

His family said: ‘It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we confirm the tragic loss of our beloved Jordan Olivier Rodney, who was taken from us far too soon.

‘Jordan was a man who touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He was warm, funny, and loving. Always quick with a smile or a joke that could brighten the dark day.

‘His kindness, generosity, and humour left a lasting impression on friends and family alike.

‘Our son, brother, uncle, and friend was so much more than the circumstances of his death. He brought joy to our lives every single day, and his absence leaves a hole that can never be filled.

‘We will remember Jordie for the love he shared so freely, the laughter he inspired, and the way he made us all feel seen and valued. We ask for privacy as we grieve this devastating loss and whilst we work to come to terms with what has happened.

‘We are eternally grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this incredibly difficult time.’

A postmortem has been carried out.

A second man, in his 30s, has been discharged from hospital after being treated for minor injuries.

Jahmel Joseph, 28, from Ealing, has been arrested and charged wih attempted murder, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of a prohibited weapon and dangerous driving.

He appeared in custody at Bromley Magistrates Court yesterday and is now due to appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday.
