Jazz Reid has been sentenced to 38 years in prison for a series of shooting attacks carried out while disguised as a Deliveroo delivery rider. Reid targeted three individuals—one of whom was an eight-year-old girl—inflicting serious injuries in attacks across London between October and November 2024.
On October 9, 2024, Reid drove from his home in Uxbridge to Ladbroke Grove, where he retrieved a modified electric bike and a green Deliveroo backpack. Using this disguise, he traveled to a 27-year-old man’s residence in Notting Hill and shot him in the thigh at the communal entrance, leaving the man seriously injured.
A month later, on November 11, Reid returned with the same disguise to an address linked to a 34-year-old man in the Notting Dale area and fired four gunshots. Neighbors heard the shots and alerted the police. Just 13 days later, on November 24, Reid located the same man seated in a car on Southern Row in Golborne. Again disguised as a delivery rider and on his modified bike, Reid fired multiple shots at the vehicle, hitting the man five times and also striking the eight-year-old girl sitting in the front passenger seat. Both survived, though the man sustained life-threatening and life-altering injuries.

Police investigators meticulously gathered evidence from hundreds of hours of CCTV footage, mobile phone records, and automatic number plate recognition data, successfully tracking Reid’s movements before, during, and after each attack. A search of his home on November 26 uncovered a loaded pistol concealed beneath a concrete paving slab. Reid’s DNA was found on the weapon and on bullet casings from the November 11 shooting, linking him conclusively to the crimes.
Reid was convicted of attempted murder, two counts of wounding with intent, and multiple firearms and ammunition possession charges with intent to endanger life. At the Old Bailey on January 15, Judge Sarah Whitehouse KC sentenced him to 38 years in prison, with an additional five years on extended licence.
In a statement to the Metropolitan Police, the mother of the injured girl and partner of the man shot described the devastating impact on their family. She spoke of ongoing trauma and guilt, and how the birthday celebration that day was forever overshadowed by the attack. Her daughter, once lively and sociable, now struggles daily with the aftermath, and her partner faces permanent physical limitations. Though grateful for the justice served, she emphasized that no sentence can undo the harm caused.
Detective Inspector Richard Scott, who led the investigation, described the crimes as meticulously planned and intended to kill. He praised the officers’ dedication and expressed hope that the sentencing brings some solace to the victims and their families, emphasizing the lasting trauma Reid’s actions have caused.
