Murder inquiry after woman shot
A post-mortem examination is due to take placeA 22-year-old pregnant woman has been shot dead in south-west London.
The victim, who has been named as Krystal Hart, was found in the hallway of a flat in Belleville Road, Battersea, at 1110 BST.
She had suffered a single gunshot wound and was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.
Scotland Yard said officers were investigating the possibility that the shooting was connected with a dispute over parking.
Det Ch Insp Colin Sutton, who is leading the investigation, told BBC News 24: "There had been some pretty low-level dispute between this unfortunate victim and her neighbour and it may be that that's got some bearing on what happened, but certainly nothing in the past has happened here of this magnitude."
Police are talking to Ms Hart's partner and her neighbour as witnesses.
Mr Sutton said officers would be reviewing CCTV footage from a camera on the building.
"We are hopeful that that will show us exactly what events took place," he added.
A post-mortem examination is due to take place and the area has been cordoned off.
Local people described their shock at the shooting in the "well-to-do" area of south-west London.
One man, who gave his name only as Glen and lives two roads from where the shooting took place, said the area was not used to violent crime.
"Not in this part - maybe on the other side of Clapham Junction where there are some big estates but not here," he said.
"Here it is young professional couples and generally quite a well-to-do area."
Another local man, who only gave his name as Rory, said: "Northcote Road, which is nearby, is known as Nappy Alley because it is full of mums in 4x4s (or) walking with prams."
He said the road was once a market but is now full of fashionable cafes and boutiques.
This incident follows the shootings of five other south Londoners, three of them teenagers, in February this year.
All the victims were male.
Think outside of the box...Think in spirit
Act as if it were impossible to fail!!!

Yeah I picked up on all that subliminal nonsense too but for some reason I assumed the victim was a black woman... I thought they were pointing out the oh so obvious irony as they usually do.

MarcusGarveyLives. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to score points over this murder. Regardless of race, a pregnant young woman is dead. What if the murderers are black men. What message would that send. How would the black community react if a white or asian man shot a pregnant black woman in London. That you dare to associate the name of Marcus Garvey with yourself and such inhumane comments angers me. You are not worthy to use his name.

"... Police later said they wanted to speak to a white man aged between 30 and 50 in connection with the shooting. Scotland Yard have yet to make any arrests ...
(Source: Press Association, Late this evening)
White people get shot too. Fact. I see no reason for your hysteria.
A number ofAfrican women andseveral African children have been shot in recent years in London. Now a European woman has been shot.
You will have to explain what "message" has been sent by whom to whom if the person or persons responsible are, to use your terminology, "black".
Anyone with information should contact the incident room on 020 8247 7911 or anonymously, Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

It is not histerical to be critical of your flippant comments regarding the murder of a pregnant woman. Regardless of the race of victim or criminal, it is an evil crime. We all know that every race includes within ita criminal element. So the only response of an honourable man to such a crimeshould beto condemn the criminal and pity the victims. I would expect more from someone who chose to associate themselves with the nameMarcus Garvey.

Europeans shoot other Europeans. Fact.
There is nothing very much that Africans can do about it.

I clearly used the word IF, regarding the killer,to makethe point that race should not be the issue, as I only know what I have seen and heard on the news.We should feel pity for all mudered women and children and anger towards the criminals, regardless of race. You only want to play petty games. You are not worthy to associate yourself with the name Marcus Garvey. I will not waste any more time on you.

No-one seems to be interested in you.
White on White Crime - there's not much that Africans can do about it.
