Man guilty over Dalston gangland shooting that left nine-year-old girl with bullet lodged in brain

On Monday, at the Old Bailey, Javon Riley was found guilty of causing grievous harm with intent to the nine-year-old girl and three attempted murders.
Amid a decades-long rivalry between the Tottenham Turks and Hackney Turks, the shooting was ordered by the Tottenham Turks targeting Hackney Turks members.
On May 29 last year, six shots were fired into the Evin Restaurant, with one hitting the girl’s head, and jurors heard Riley scouted targets and drove the gunman away.
Judge Mark Lucraft KC ordered Riley be remanded into custody for sentencing on September 12, and the Metropolitan Police offered a �15,000 reward for information on the gunman.
Despite Riley’s conviction, the gunman remains at large, leaving the case open and the girl facing lifelong physical and cognitive difficulties with the bullet lodged in her brain.
