Ladbroke Grove shooting: Man charged with attempted murder of girl, 8, and her father

A man has been charged with attempted murder after a eight-year-old girl and her father were injured in a double shooting in Ladbroke Grove.

Jazz Reid, 32, of Kensington, was charged on Friday with two counts of attempted murder and possession of a firearm and ammunition.

He will appear at Thames Magistrates’ Court later, the Metropolitan Police said.

The child was injured along with her 34-year-old father after a gunman opened fire into their car in Southern Row, Ladbroke Grove, west London, at around 5.30pm on Sunday.

The pair were with her two-year-old sibling and 32-year-old mother, who were both unhurt, at the time of the attack.

Witnesses described the gunman shooting directly into the Kia SUV, and the harrowing shouts of the girl’s mother after the shooting.

The girl had surgery on Monday and was said to be in a stable condition, while her father has been left with potentially life-changing injuries.

Superintendent Owen Renowden previously said the shooting was “an appalling incident”.

A 22-year-old man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder on Monday has been bailed until early February.

Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command lead the investigation and continue to ask anyone with information that may assist to come forward.
