Gunman Who Posed as Deliveroo Rider Jailed for 38 Years Over London Shootings

The judge cited an unexplained motive, raising the prospect of contract-style attacks tied to criminal gain.

Overview

  • Jazz Reid, 33, was sentenced at the Old Bailey to 38 years in prison plus five years on extended licence for attempted murder and multiple firearms offences.
  • Disguised as a delivery rider on a modified e-bike, he fired 11 shots into a car in Ladbroke Grove on November 24, 2024, wounding a 34-year-old father five times and his eight-year-old daughter twice.
  • Investigators linked Reid to three shootings in October and November 2024 using CCTV, ANPR and phone data, and found a loaded pistol with his DNA hidden under a concrete slab at his home.
  • Victim statements described life‑changing harm, with the father unlikely to walk again, the child suffering flashbacks, and a bullet remaining in her body.
  • Reid denied involvement and claimed he was set up over a drug debt, while the court heard police later seized a 9mm pistol tied to the first two attacks.
