14 Years On, Police Hunt Witnesses in Kings Cross Nightclub Murder
Detectives are renewing their plea for witnesses in the cold case of Daniel Ross, shot dead 14 years ago at the Scala nightclub in Kings Cross. The fatal shooting happened just after 3:45am on Sunday, 24 September 2006, leaving 22-year-old Daniel fatally wounded.
Chaos at the Scala Club
On that fateful night, around 800 partygoers packed the venue when a suspect brazenly walked onto the dance floor and opened fire at close range. Despite emergency crews’ swift response, Daniel later died in hospital.
Police Offer £10,000 Reward for Crucial Info
Detective Inspector Will Reynolds said:
“Despite the passing of 14 years, the murder of Daniel Ross remains unsolved. I would like to appeal directly to those present on that night, who have yet to come forward, to contact us about what they saw or heard. Your information could help my team make the much-needed breakthrough in this case.”
The Metropolitan Police are offering a hefty reward of up to £10,000 for information that leads to catching the killer. DI Reynolds added:
“It is not too late to do the right thing. The Met never closes unsolved murders. We’re still hunting for leads to bring justice to Daniel’s family.”
Family’s Heartbreaking Plea
Daniel’s parents spoke out on the anniversary of their son’s death:
“On the 14th anniversary of the murder of our son, Daniel Ross, we appeal to anyone in our community and beyond who has information about Daniel’s death to examine their conscience, and come forward and tell us what they know. We know that nothing can bring Daniel back but we can bring those responsible for his death to justice. To the sad person(s) who took Daniel’s life, do the honourable thing, and give yourself up.
“As a family we continue to mourn Daniel. He is never far from our minds. We have endured an emotional rollercoaster of anger, grief, pity, despair and disbelief that people around us refuse to share the information they have about our son’s murderer. There are no words that could describe the pain we feel for not having Daniel in our lives.”
