Matthew Willson, 31, was killed by a stray bullet which had been shot from a neighbouring apartment complex in Atlanta. The bullet travelled 800ft and penetrated a wall before hitting Mr Wilson in the head. Mr Wilson had been with his girlfriend Kate Shepard, whom he travelled to see from west London.

Police were called by Ms Shepard who was giving aid to her boyfriend.

Mr Wilson was taken to a local hospital in the early hours last Sunday but could not be saved.

Police said they were called at 2am on Sunday.

As they attended the initial call, they then received a separate report of another incident from another block of flats where Mr Wilson was staying.

Sergeant Jacob Kissel told WSB-TV: “This was a senseless act – this was an innocent victim.

“She and her boyfriend were laying in bed.

“He was here visiting from England. He was visiting a loved one.

“He had just flown in to the Atlanta area.

“We lean on the public to understand that this is a tragic event, and we hope that they may come forward with any information they may have.”

He also told BBC Radio Surrey: “These two roadways parallel each other and are separated by a woodline

“Police officers immediately responded to the priority call, the person being shot.

“That’s where they met with a female caller who was rendering aid to her boyfriend who had been shot in the head.”

Mr Wilson studied at Georgia State University.

“Dr Willson was in town from England visiting loved ones when the incident occurred.”

Detectives have not made any arrests in relation to the incident.

They also believe the gun was fired recklessly.
