Takayo Nembhard, 21, was killed while surrounded by several hundred people on Monday 29 August, 2022, in the Ladbroke Grove area under the Westway flyover. He was visiting his friends and sister after having travelled from Bristol to enjoy the carnival, before he died in hospital due to a stab wound to his right groin, Met Police said. Although multiple arrests were made in connection with the murder, no charges have been brought by police.
"Takayo left behind a heartbroken family and two beautiful boys, said his parents, Sandra and Vincent Nembhard. We don't want them to grow up without knowing someone has been charged with his murder. "We don't blame the Carnival for our son's murder; it was the action of a small minority. But if you have any information about what happened that day three years ago please come forward."
Due to the timing and venue of the attack it is quite likely that many people witnessed the events before, during or after. Met Police are now calling on any witnesses of the attack to come forward on the eve of Notting Hill Carnival's 2025 edition. The force is urging people to contact them on social media or the 101 phone number, or by calling the incident room directly on 020 7175 2206. Witnesses should quote case number 7478/29AUG22.
