However his injuries were non life-threatening.
The victim reported three men had followed him in a car and opened fire at him.
Another witness told cops they saw Jason cycling when he was knocked off his bike by a car.
They claimed two people of the car got out and shot Jason in the head before driving away.
Cops have now released new CCTV footage of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the tragedy.
He can be seen walking through gates with his hood up, carrying a bag.
The force have put up a £20,000 reward for anyone who can provide information.
In June 2022, two men were convicted and sentenced for their involvement.
Mushin Mohamed, 28, of Leytonstone Road, in Stratford, was found guilty of murder and attempted murder at the Old Bailey.
He was sentenced to life in prison to serve a minimum of 35 years.
Tyrelle Joseph, 24, of Banks Way, in Newham, was found guilty of assisting an offender and jailed for seven years.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “Investigating officers are now in a position to release this footage of a man they would like to speak with in connection with this investigation and a financial reward for information is available.
“The Metropolitan Police Service are offering a substantial reward of up to £20,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest and prosecution of the person responsible for the murder of Jason Diallo and the non-fatal shooting of a 27-year-old man on November 1, 2020.”
Detective Chief Inspector Kelly Allen, the senior investigating officer, added: “We have continued our momentum behind this investigation to ensure that those responsible for killing Jason Diallo and seriously injuring another man are held accountable.
“Our enquiries have found no evidence to suggest that Jason Diallo or the attempted murder victim were known to one another or those convicted, suggesting that this was a completely unprovoked and violent incident.
“Jason Diallo was described by his family as a devoted father of two who had the softest heart.
“Our thoughts have remained with his family and friends throughout a difficult four years and we are determined that they see justice.
“We are now in a position to release an image of this man, who we would like to speak with in connection with this ongoing investigation.
“If you know who he is or have any information which could help us, please get in contact.”
