Ricardo Anderson opened fire on Park Lane in Tottenham last May, in what police said was a “gang dispute”, sending the public, including children, running for shelter.
A masked gunman who shot at a car on a busy north London street in a “gang dispute” has been convicted.
Ricardo Anderson, 21, was found guilty of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of ammunition with intent to endanger life, and attempted grievous bodily harm.
He opened fire on a vehicle along Park Lane in Tottenham on 27 May last year.
Police said the incident was part of a “dispute involving rival gangs in the area”.
CCTV captured the moment the blue VW Golf drove down the road, before coming to a stop in the middle of the street.
Anderson was seen on camera pulling a gun from his waistband and firing “wildly” towards the car.
The Metropolitan Police said that an occupant of the vehicle also had a gun and tried to fire back, but the weapon jammed.
Members of the public were left fleeing and sheltering in nearby shops, or by cars, following the attack around 8pm.
The targeted vehicle sped off and Anderson fled the scene on foot.
During a police investigation, officers discovered that a group had congregated in the area earlier to film a music video and one member had been wearing a distinctive blue North Face tracksuit, black trainers, and a balaclava.
CCTV footage allowed police to identify the individual as Anderson, and confirm that he went on to fire at the vehicle.
Anderson was arrested on 31 May last year, and then charged on 1 June.
After being convicted at the Central Criminal Court on 10 April, he is now set to be sentenced on 22 May.
Investigating officer Detective Constable Rhiain John said: “This incident took place in a busy street, on a warm summer’s evening where people were out and shops were open.
