Overview

• Old Bailey judge Mark Lucraft KC sentenced Javon Riley, 33, after a jury convicted him of three counts of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm over the 29 May 2024 attack.
• Prosecutors said Riley scouted the Evin restaurant, confirmed targets, and drove the gunman away in a stolen car that was later burned, with CCTV and covert recordings underpinning the case.
• The shooting was linked to a long-running feud between the Tottenham Turks and Hackney Turks; intended targets Mustafa Kiziltan, 35, Kenan Aydogdu, 45, and Nasser Ali, 44, were wounded.
• The child spent three months in hospital, underwent skull reconstruction with a titanium plate, and faces lifelong physical and cognitive difficulties with a bullet still lodged in her brain.
• The shooter remains untraced as detectives renew appeals for information; Riley refused to identify his recruiter, reportedly paid around £40,000, citing fears for his and his family’s safety.
