"Today as the senior investigating officer I am appealing to the public for their help," he said.
"I know that there will be people out there who will have information that can assist us and I know that information will lead us to identify who was behind the shooting of Tamba.
"As we approach Christmas a time where we spend reflecting and celebrating our families. The family of Tamba will be feeling his loss more than ever.
"I'm appealing for those who have information. How would you feel if you'd lost a loved one in such tragic and sudden circumstances?
"You would want to know what happened. You would want to have answers to your questions, but probably more importantly you would want to know who was behind the killing of your loved one so that you could get justice for your loved one.
"I appreciate that people are reluctant to talk to the police, but it is really important that those with information have the courage to come forward and share it with the police," Mr Bellamy said.
He said information can also be passed anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or at crimestoppers-uk.org who will not tell the detectives where the details came from, or through the website fearless.org
