A young girl was enjoying a meal with her family at a restaurant in Kingsland High Street, Dalston on a typical evening in May. Little did they know, their night would take a devastating turn when a motorcyclist approached and fired multiple shots towards the building. The innocent child, only nine years old, was struck in the head and remains in critical condition even after 49 days.
In a statement shared by the family through the Metropolitan Police, they expressed their heartache and uncertainty about the future. Their daughter, who was once a bright and funny girl, may never fully recover from this senseless act of violence. They had gone out for a simple treat of ice cream, but now they are left wondering if they will ever have their daughter back, and if she will be able to speak and move normally again. Their only hope is for her to make a full recovery, and they are relying on the power of prayer.
As the little girl continues to fight for her life, the Metropolitan Police have released new images of the motorcyclist they believe to be responsible for the shooting. The photographs were taken in the Dalston area before and after the incident. Along with these images, forensic officers are gathering evidence at the scene to aid in their investigation.
The shooting not only injured the young girl but also three men who were dining outside the restaurant. Thankfully, they were discharged from the hospital a few days later. Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway has made a plea for information from the public about the incident. He urges anyone who may have seen the suspect on a motorcycle to come forward and assist with their investigation. The motorcycle is believed to have been seen in the Peckham and Crystal Palace areas.
Mr. Conway stresses the importance of finding and removing the dangerous individual responsible for this heinous act. He is asking for the community's help in identifying the rider and encourages anyone with information to contact the authorities immediately.
In a shocking turn of events, it was reported that the suspected gang leader responsible for the drive-by shooting was killed in Moldova. Izzet Eren, a 41-year-old reputed leader of the Tottenham Turks, was shot seven times outside a cafe in the capital city. It is believed that one of the targets in the Dalston shooting was a member of the Hackney Bombers gang, who had previously been shot by a suspected member of the Tottenham Turks.
The Metropolitan Police are investigating a potential link to organized criminal networks originating in Turkey. Mr. Conway states that they are pursuing this as a critical line of inquiry. He also reminds the public that the young girl who was injured was simply out with her family for dinner. She is still in critical condition and fighting for her life. He appeals to anyone who may have information, even if it involves a friend or family member, to come forward and do the right thing. Loyalty to friends does not extend to covering up for an innocent child who has been shot.
