A gunman on a motorbike opened fire at a restaurant in Dalston, hitting three men and a nine-year-old girl who was eating ice cream. The intended targets were involved in a gang dispute between the Hackney Turks and the Tottenham Turks. Javon Riley was convicted of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm against the girl, refusing to disclose the identity of his accomplice for fear of safety. The girl survives but has sustained life-changing injuries with a bullet lodged in her brain. The police continue to investigate the incident, offering a reward for information leading to the gunman.
The shooting appeared to be part of an ongoing dispute between two rival gangs, the Hackney Turks and the Tottenham Turks, resulting in a nine-year-old girl being injured.
Riley was found guilty of three charges of attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent against the girl, refusing to name the man who hired him.
The little girl survived the gunshot but was left with life-changing injuries, with the bullet still lodged in her brain.
There has been a long history of violence between these two organised crime groups, evidenced by several murders and shootings.
