Fatal shooting gun found

[15 August 2008]

The gun used in the murder of 18-year old Ryan Bravo has been found by police.

Eight people have been arrested following a raid at a Brixton address. The eight people included five 16-year-olds, who were arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life. They were all later bailed. Police believe that the gun recovered from the address on Brixton's Myatt's Field estate was used in Ryan Bravo's murder. Ryan was shot in the back while in a Costcutter shop in Walworth. Ashley Bucknor, 19, of no fixed address, appeared before magistrates on Monday charged with murder.
