At around 12:35 p.m., police were notified of the gunfire near Cheney Park on Durban Road.
Police were told that there had been a large party at the location.
Specialized detectives have launched a murder investigation. A crime scene is in place and police have warned that local vehicles and pedestrians will be disrupted in the coming days.
Three men went to a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds, where one later died, according to Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy, based on an update from Met Police.
MP Creasy announced the “very sad” news in a tweet, saying a murder had taken place in the area overnight.
Her Tweet read: “Walthamstow, I have very sad news to report. Last night there was a murder in our community.
“I am sharing the police update on this and would like to ask you not to speculate on this matter out of respect for this man’s family.
“As soon as I have more information to share, I will inform residents.
“If you were at this event or have any information about what happened, I urge you to come forward and help identify those responsible.”
If anyone has any information they should call the police on 101 or 999 and quote ref CAD 267/24JUL.
It comes when the police launched a murder investigation after a man in his fifties was… stabbed to death in an Ealing pub last night.
