"A gunman who shot an eight-year-old girl and her father while pretending to be a Deliveroo driver in north-west London has been jailed for 38 years. Jazz Reid, 34, 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. Reid was found guilty of attempted murder of the father and wounding his daughter with intent at a trial in November."
"The court was told the three shootings involved the use of two guns, one of which, a 9mm self-loading pistol loaded with 17 rounds, was recovered from underneath a concrete slab outside Reid's home in Uxbridge on the same day as his arrest on 26 November 2024. Reid's DNA was found on the grip and muzzle of the pistol which was forensically linked to the third shooting."
