This is a picture of Corey Junior Davis, who was gunned down in east London, taken from a five-minute YouTube video showing him aged 10 as the winner of a dance competition.

Corey was the ‘Soul 2 Dance Winner 2013’ at Walthamstow's Soul Project Youth Space centre, a charity for young people and youngsters who are at risk of joining gangs.

The video has attracted 2,120 views and the young boy comments on it at the time saying: “Look how much people have watched it.”

It emerged today as detectives continued to hunt the killers of Corey as he chatted with friends in Forest Gate on Monday afternoon.

Police have described the shooting as “an extreme act of violence” and want to trace a vehicle seen leaving the scene.

There have been no arrests.

Anyone with information can contact police on 020 8345 3775 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
