Mr Uzoka was found collapsed on a pavement in Old Oak Road in Shepherds Bush, west London, just before 4pm on Thursday. He died at the scene.

The area around Ollgar House in Ollgar Close had been sealed off by the police.

Detective Inspector Beverley Kofi said: “This is another tragic murder with a young male victim who has met a violent death.

“We believe that the incident started at Ollgar House, in Ollgar Close and the victim was assaulted and stabbed before staggering and collapsing in Old Oak Road.

“We believe there were a number of people involved, but we are still working to establish the circumstances and a possible motive.

“We have made two arrests and continue to pursue a number of lines of inquiry. We need the public’s help to piece together what happened — who the victim was seen with, the incident itself and the immediate aftermath.

Harry Uzoka, 25, was signed to top talent agencies in London, New York and Los Angeles, and had appeared in campaigns around the world.


Heartbroken friends and fans have described him as an "absolute icon" and an inspiration to black models after doing work for giants such as Zara and Mercedes.

Uzoka had appeared on billboards in the UK and USA. He also worked for Zara and Mercedes.



He was also signed to the Los Angeles New Models agency and was followed by almost 20,000 people in Instagram.
