Nine-year-old girl was shot in 'attempted assassination of rival gang members' in Dalston, east London
DALSTON, EAST LONDON, JUL 22 – Javon Riley faces multiple attempted murder charges linked to a decade-long gang rivalry that led to a drive-by shooting injuring a child and three men, prosecutors say.
- A planned assassination targeting rival gang members occurred on the evening of May 29 last year outside the Evin restaurant in Dalston, east London, where a nine-year-old girl was also shot in the head.
- The shooting was connected to a long-standing violent rivalry involving the Tottenham Turks and their rivals, the Hackney Turks, with the prosecution asserting that the attack was orchestrated by members of the Tottenham Turks.
- Javon Riley, aged 33, allegedly played a key role before, during, and after the shooting, including reconnaissance and helping the gunman evade capture, though he denies all charges.
- The gunman arrived on a red Ducati Monster motorbike, fired six shots hitting three men and the girl, who needed multiple operations including skull reconstruction with a titanium plate.
- All victims survived and appear to have made reasonable recoveries, but the girl will face lifelong physical and cognitive difficulties, while the gunman remains unidentified and vehicles linked to the attack were torched.
