The victim, believed to be in his 30s, was found with a gunshot wound, according to a report from the Metropolitan Police.
They took her to a hospital in East London and contacted her relatives.
The Metropolitan Police has launched an appeal for eyewitnesses or anyone with information who can help with the investigation.
In another incident in south London, a man in his 20s was stabbed to death, according to reports.
The incident took place at Ramilles Close, SW2, in the Brixton Hill area of the capital.
“No arrests have been made at this stage.
“The crime scene remains at the scene and the officers continue their investigations.”
The Mayor’s Office of Police and Crime (Mopac) is working to address the known crime crisis in the capital.
He issued a statement outlining the mayor’s strategy to “make London safer for young people.”
The statement read: “Every time a young Londoner dies as a result of a violent crime, it is utterly heartbreaking and leaves families and communities devastated.”
“The causes of violent crime are extremely complex and involve deep-seated problems, such as inequality, poverty, social alienation and lack of opportunities for young people.
“These problems have been made much worse by government cuts over the past decade to police and preventive services, such as youth centers, municipal services and charities, as well as the growing market for illegal drugs.”
