A 28-year-old man was stabbed to death in central London on Wednesday night, prompting a murder investigation and heightened police presence in the area. The victim, Reece Salmon, was found with stab wounds on Lloyd Baker Street in Clerkenwell, known locally as “Millionaires’ Row.” Officers arrived at the scene around 11:20 p.m., accompanied by the London Ambulance Service, and confirmed Mr. Salmon’s death at a local hospital on Thursday, 17 September. His family expressed deep sorrow, describing him as a “loving partner and son” who left behind many friends and loved ones. The Metropolitan Police have launched a murder inquiry and issued a Section 60 order, allowing officers to conduct stop-and-search operations in the Caledonian Road, Clerkenwell, and Hoxton areas. This measure grants enhanced powers to investigate the incident, which took place in a residential street featuring historic Georgian properties. No arrests have been made, though police are actively seeking witnesses and information. Chief Superintendent Jason Stewart emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating that the community should expect increased police visibility and reassurance. He urged anyone with relevant information to come forward, noting that the public may hold crucial insights into the case. A dedicated police reference number, CAD 8475/16SEP, has been assigned for inquiries, and anonymous tips can be submitted through Crimestoppers. Floral tributes have appeared on Lloyd Baker Street, reflecting the community’s grief over the loss of a young man in an affluent neighborhood. The ongoing manhunt continues as authorities work to uncover the circumstances surrounding Mr. Salmon’s fatal injuries.
