Jazz Reid told the court that a gun found at his home had been planted there to set him up after failing to repay a \u00a310k drug debt<\/p>\n

A man accused of shooting an eight-year-old girl and her father while disguised as a Deliveroo rider has told jurors he was “set up”.<\/p>\n

The child was hit twice and the 34-year-old man five times as they sat with other family members in a car in Ladbroke Grove, north-west London, on 24 November last year. Neither victim can be identified for legal reasons.<\/p>\n

Police recovered a gun from underneath a concrete slab outside Reid’s home following his arrest, jurors were told.<\/p>\n

Giving evidence in his Old Bailey trial, Jazz Reid, 33, told jurors the gun was “planted” as part of a plot to set him up over a \u00a310k drug debt.<\/p>\n

Drug debt <\/p>\n

The shooting in Ladbroke Grove was one of three involving the use of two guns linked by forensic evidence to Mr Reid, the jury heard.<\/p>\n

Mr Reid claimed to have handled a gun during an earlier incident in which he was himself attacked and shot.<\/p>\n

The court heard he was arrested for conspiracy to supply Class A drugs in 2012 and sent to prison the following year after a trial.<\/p>\n

Mr Reid said he became aware in 2021 that he was being pursued over a \u00a310,000 drug debt.<\/p>\n

Cross-examining for the prosecution Michael Goodwin KC said: “Apart from what you’ve told us, do you have any other proof that you have been set up?”<\/p>\n

The defendant replied: “No.”<\/p>\n

Mr Goodwin suggested Mr Reid had not mentioned the debt and drug dealing in his initial defence case statement because it was “not true”.<\/p>\n

The defendant denied it and insisted that around the time of the shootings he was at a family celebration and buying cannabis.<\/p>\n

Deliveroo disguise<\/p>\n

Previously, the court heard Mr Reid allegedly used a hire car to drive from his home in Uxbridge to west London, changed into a Deliveroo disguise and cycled on an e-bike to his intended targets.<\/p>\n

In the first shooting on 9 October last year, Mr Reid allegedly fired twice, hitting a woman in the thigh at her home in Notting Hill.<\/p>\n

On 11 November last year, it is alleged he fired four shots at an address in north London linked to the father from the car – the subject of the third attack on 24 November.<\/p>\n

Mr Reid has denied carrying out any of the shootings.<\/p>\n

He has pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder of the man and wounding the girl with intent.<\/p>\n

He has also pleaded not guilty to wounding with intent in Notting Hill on 9 October last year, and to a string of firearms offences relating to the incidents.<\/p>\n
