UK rapper Hypo was fatally stabbed at a Jubilee Party in East London last week.
Hypo, real name Lamar Jackson, was attacked in front of a “large number of people” at a Jubilee party in Redbridge but was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency responders failed to revive him.
Det. Ch. Insp. Laurence Smith said no suspects have been arrested but he believes the stabbing was filmed on people’s cell phones.
“This attack happened at a party and we know that a large number of people would have been in attendance,” he said. “I would urge anyone who is yet to speak with us to come forward and let us know what you saw.
“It is possible that events leading up to the stabbing, and perhaps the murder itself, were captured on people’s phones. Please take a look and call us. It is vital that we establish what happened.”
Hypo used to date British singer Emeli Sande.
