A man has been found guilty for his role in the shooting of a nine-year-old girl outside an east London restaurant in a long-running gang feud.

The girl was hit in the head by one of six bullets fired by a man on a passing motorbike as she sat with her family in the Evin restaurant in Kingsland High Street, Hackney, on 29 May last year.

She and her family members were not the intended targets of the attack.

The gunman has not been caught, but jurors were told Javon Riley played a "key role" before, during and after the shooting. He carried out reconnaissance of the restaurant before the attack, scouted for potential targets and drove the gunman away in a stolen car.

Riley, from Tottenham, north London, was convicted of causing grievous harm with intent to the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
