Police officers arriving at the scene just before 9pm kept her alive by resuscitation before ambulance arrived.

“The woman was an innocent bystander,” Det Insp Matt Webb from Trident Command said. “She was left seriously injured in the street.
“Someone knows who did this. I urge them not to help violent criminals by remaining silent.”

“I want to reassure them that we’ll stop at nothing to find those persons who left this woman so seriously injured.”
Police believe 10 people were in Broadway Market about 10 minutes before the shooting who were being filmed for a music video “with professional looking camera equipment”.
