Mr Powell's mother said: "My son was an awesome person with a smile that still warms my heart.

"He was a well-loved son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend to many, and we all love and miss him."

Robert Powell was described as a "loving, caring and compassionate family man"

She said the pain of losing her son was "ongoing day by day".

"You wait, expecting a phone call, hear their favourite song, or smell their clothing. The worst pain of all is on their birthday," she said.

"I can only pray and plead to the conscience of anyone who has information, no matter how small, to contact Essex Police.

"It has been two years now, and we, the family of Robert Christopher Powell are asking you to please look into your hearts and help us find closure."

Essex Police said the car drove off in the direction of Harlow after the shooting

Det Supt Stephen Jennings said: "Although it will never bring Robert back to his family, we will not stop until those responsible are found and brought to justice.

"A dedicated team of officers and staff are still carrying out extensive inquiries to progress our investigation and we welcome any new information, no matter how minor you think it may be."
