"Met Police A gunman has been found guilty of shooting an eight-year-old girl and her father in north-west London while disguised as a Deliveroo rider. The Old Bailey trial heard Jazz Reid fired 11 shots, hitting the child twice and the 34-year-old man five times as they sat with other family members in a car in Ladbroke Grove on 24 November 2024."
"On Thursday the jury found him guilty of attempted murder of the father and wounding the girl with intent. The court had heard how Reid, 33, would drive a hire car to the area, change into his Deliveroo disguise - complete with a takeaway box - and cycle an e-bike to the location of his intended targets. Reid was also convicted of wounding with intent on 9 October last year and of firearms offences relating to the incidents."
"During his trial he told jurors the gun was "planted" as part of a plot to set him up over a 10,000 drug debt. The shooting in Ladbroke Grove was one of three involving the use of two guns linked by forensic evidence to Reid, the jury heard. Prosecutor Michael Goodwin KC had told jurors that each shooting was planned and executed with "precision", with Reid even switching his mobile phone and sim card to avoid detection."
Jazz Reid fired 11 shots, hitting an eight-year-old girl twice and a 34-year-old man five times as they sat in a car in Ladbroke Grove. A jury convicted him of attempted murder of the father, wounding the girl with intent, and firearms offences. Reid used hire cars, changed into a Deliveroo disguise with a takeaway box, and cycled an e-bike from a Swinbrook Estate flat used as a cover. Forensic evidence linked two guns to three shootings. Reid claimed a gun was "planted" in a plot over a £10,000 drug debt, while prosecutors said each attack was planned with "precision" and that he switched phones and SIM cards to avoid detection.
