A man who posed as a delivery rider and shot three people in Ladbroke Grove, including an eight-year-old girl, has been convicted of attempted murder and multiple firearms offences.
The case forms part of the Met Police’s ongoing efforts to tackle serious violence and bring to justice those who put lives at risk.
Jazz Reid, 33, of Iffley Close, Uxbridge, was found guilty at The Old Bailey on Thursday, 6 November, of attempted murder, two counts of wounding with intent, three counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and three counts of possession of ammunition with intent to endanger life.
Detectives spent months piecing together CCTV, phone, and vehicle data to track Reid’s movements and build a conclusive case against him.
On 9 October 2024, Reid travelled from his home in Uxbridge to Ladbroke Grove, where he kept a converted e-bike and a green Deliveroo rucksack. Using the disguise, he shot a 27-year-old man in the thigh at a Notting Hill property, leaving the victim seriously injured.
A month later, on 11 November 2024, he again disguised himself as a delivery rider and travelled to Kenley Walk, where he fired four shots at a 34-year-old man.
Just under two weeks later, on 24 November 2024, Reid targeted the same man again — this time shooting him as he sat in a car on Southern Row. The man was hit five times, and two bullets also struck an eight-year-old girl sitting in the passenger seat.
Both victims survived, though the man sustained life-threatening and life-changing injuries.
Police later found a loaded pistol hidden under a concrete paving slab at Reid’s Uxbridge address. Forensic testing confirmed it was the weapon used in the third attack, and his DNA was also found on the gun and bullet casings recovered at earlier scenes.
Detective Inspector Richard Scott, who led the investigation, said: “This was a truly shocking series of crimes, carefully planned and executed by a man intent on murder, and in the process, could have killed his victim and seriously injured an innocent child, who must now live with the trauma caused by Reid’s wicked actions.
“Not only did he go to extreme lengths to commit these crimes, but he also took steps to cover his tracks, disposing of mobile phone SIM cards after each shooting and changing vehicles to evade detection.
“I’m pleased we have been able to secure justice and hope today’s verdict will bring a measure of comfort to the victims and their families.”
Superintendent Owen Renowden, who leads policing in Kensington and Chelsea, said: “I’d like to thank the local community in Ladbroke Grove who helped us with our investigation and continue to stand alongside us in our fight against gun crime.
“The Metropolitan Police are relentless in going after those who bring guns to our streets, pull the trigger, or assist those who do so, and the message is clear – there is no hiding place for those who choose violence, and we will do everything in our power to bring to justice those who commit these crimes.”
Reid will be sentenced at The Old Bailey on Monday, 5 January.
