Chris Kaba, a 24-year-old man, made headlines after opening fire on a gang rival at a nightclub in east London just six days before he was fatally shot by a police marksman. The incident took place at Oval Space in Bethnal Green on August 30, 2022, where Kaba reportedly fired shots on the dancefloor and then chased his target down the street, causing him to sustain two gunshot wounds.
According to prosecutors at the Old Bailey in London, Kaba was identified as a co-conspirator in the attempted murder and described as a “core member” of a notorious organized crime network known as 67, based in Brixton Hill, south London. It was revealed that Kaba would have faced trial for his involvement in the nightclub shooting had he not been apprehended by police on September 5, 2022.
The Metropolitan Police firearms officer, Martyn Blake, was responsible for conducting a “hard stop” that ultimately resulted in Kaba’s tragic demise. The altercation shed light on the ongoing gang violence and criminal activities plaguing various communities in London, drawing attention to the challenges faced by law enforcement in combating organized crime.
