Police are urgently hunting down a motorcyclist involved in a drive-by restaurant shooting that left a nine-year-old girl fighting for her life in hospital.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The innocent child was out ‘for ice cream’ at the Evin restaurant in Dalston, north east London, on May 29 when she became caught up in a shooting between two rival drug gangs.
Police officers Wednesday released further images of the suspected gunman driving a Duncati Monster motorbike on Kingsland High Street where he opened fire on three men sitting, believed to be his targets.
The trio with ties to the drugs gang ‘Bombacilar’ were all injured, with the young girl’s parents revealing that almost two months on she is still unable to speak or move properly after she was struck in the head by a bullet.
‘We are devastated about what has happened, our daughter remains stable but in a critical condition,’ her parents said.
‘She only went there for ice cream and now we do not know if we will ever get our daughter back to being the smart, funny girl that she was before and whether she will be able to ever speak or move properly again.
‘We need our child back and we are all praying for her full recovery, please respect our wishes for privacy for ourselves and the rest of the family at this difficult time.’
