London, August 10, 2024 — Javon Reily, a 32-year-old resident of Farnborough Road, Farnborough, appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court today, facing four counts of attempted murder.
The charges stem from a shooting that occurred on May 29 in Kingsland High Street, Dalston, where a nine-year-old girl sustained serious injuries in a shooting. She remains hospitalized but in stable condition.
Reily was apprehended on August 9 following a vehicle stop on Chelsea Embankment. He has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear at the Old Bailey on September 6, 2024.
The victim’s family has been notified of the charges and is receiving support from specially trained officers. Additionally, three other men injured during the same incident have since been released from the hospital.
Three men were also injured when a gunman riding a motorcycle opened fire on a Turkish restaurant in east London – they have since been released from hospital.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, lead for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said: “Today’s charges are a significant development in what has been a painstaking and meticulous investigation. I would like to pay credit to those from our communities who came forward to speak to us.
“Our thoughts remain with our young victim and her family as they continue to confront the devastating effects of gun crime.”
Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke who leads the investigation said: “My team continues to work around the clock in order to establish the facts of this incident.
“This is very much still an ongoing investigation and we urge those who have information to come forward. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has information about the identity of an individual seen on a motorcycle in Kingsland High Street at the time of this offence.
“We recognise that people may be apprehensive about providing details. They do not need to speak directly to the police. They can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
“Any information, no matter how insignificant you feel it may be, could be vital.”
A 35-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and assisting an offender has been released on police bail.
The investigation is related to the death of Jordan Briscoe, a 25-year-old man who was fatally stabbed in Tottenham, north London.
