Jazz Reid Jailed: 38 Years for 'Deliveroo' Birthday Shooting

A ruthless gunman who disguised himself as a delivery rider to carry out a series of "wicked" assassinations—including the shooting of an eight-year-old girl on her birthday—has been jailed for 38 years.

Jazz Reid, 33, of Iffley Close, Uxbridge, was sentenced at the Old Bailey today, Thursday, 15 January 2026, following what detectives described as a "truly shocking" series of planned crimes. Reid used a modified e-bike and a green Deliveroo rucksack to move through the streets of Ladbroke Grove unnoticed before opening fire on his targets.

The "Delivery" Assassinations

The court heard that Reid carried out three separate shooting incidents between October and November 2024, showing a "relentless" determination to kill.

While both victims survived, the man suffered life-changing injuries and is now unable to walk. The young girl has been left with "daily trauma," with her mother describing her as a "shadow of her former self."

The Investigation: A Forensic Trail

Metropolitan Police detectives utilised hundreds of hours of CCTV and car number plate recognition (ANPR) data to track Reid's movements across London. The "smoking gun" was discovered on 26 November 2024, when officers found a loaded pistol hidden under a concrete paving slab in Reid's garden.

DNA evidence recovered from the weapon and from fired bullet casings at the scene of the second shooting conclusively linked Reid to the crimes.
