A man has been found guilty over the shooting of a nine-year-old girl outside a 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 May 29 last year.
The young child was an innocent victim of a bloody rivalry between Turkish gangs of north London.
Three men who were sitting at a nearby table were also struck and injured, the Old Bailey was told.
On Monday, Javon Riley, 33, from Tottenham, north London, was found guilty of causing grievous harm with intent to the nine-year-old girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
Riley was also found guilty of attempting to murder Mustafa Kiziltan,
