Last summer, tragedy struck when Izzet Eren was killed in a shooting in Moldova. A manhunt is now underway to find the gang leader responsible for his death. Eren had been linked to the shooting of a nine-year-old girl in a restaurant in north London, and her family has stated that she may never be able to speak again.
The incident occurred in late May 2024 when the young girl was dining with her family at Evin Restaurant in Dalston. As they enjoyed their meal, a gunman on a stolen motorbike fired five shots, causing chaos as families scrambled for safety. The innocent child was caught in the crossfire and was critically injured.
Authorities believe that Eren, a senior member of the North London gang known as the "Tottenham Turks," was targeting a member of a rival gang, the "Hackney Bombers." However, it was the young girl who suffered the consequences. The two gangs have been locked in a deadly conflict since 2009, and this incident only added fuel to the fire.
Sadly, this was not the only tragedy linked to Eren's name. Just weeks later, he was shot and killed while sitting outside a cafe in Chisinau, Moldova. The murder was carefully planned, according to prosecutor Victor Furtuna, who revealed that the gunman had flown to Moldova two weeks before the attack and had been monitoring their target. After the murder, the perpetrator fled across the Romanian border.
The shooting in London and Eren's murder in Moldova have raised concerns about gang violence in the area. One of the men injured in the attack, Beytullah Gunduz, 37, has links to the Turkish criminal world and was dining at the Evin restaurant when the shooting occurred. He left for a brief 15 minutes and returned to find that three of his friends had been shot, along with the innocent nine-year-old girl who was struck in the head.
Gunduz himself was a victim of a previous attack, having been shot in the neck by a rival gang, the Tottenham Turks. Despite this, he has been cleared of any involvement in organizing a hit for his own gang, the Hackney Turks. In an emotional statement, Gunduz expressed his heartbreak over the young girl's injuries and questioned why the shooter didn't wait until he had left the restaurant before carrying out the attack.
He went on to say, "We can be criminals, but this girl wasn't. She didn't do anything wrong. It is killing me inside. The waiting to know if she is going to live is too much – I am heartbroken. I wish I was still sitting there and the bullet had gone in my head."
As the investigation continues and the search for the shooter intensifies, the community is left reeling from the senseless violence that has claimed innocent lives. It is a stark reminder of the deadly consequences of gang wars and the impact it has on not only those involved but also innocent bystanders.
