Brent man shot dead in Bournemouth thought to be member of notorious Harlesden gang
A Brent man who was shot dead in Bournemouth is believed to be a member of a notorious gang from Harlesden.
The man, 20, and who is believed to come from Wembley, was shot and killed in the Boscombe area of Bournemouth on Wednesday.
The area is infamous in the region as one plagued with crime.
Dorset Police have not revealed the identity of the man, but social networking websites have identified him as Reece aka ‘Stylie’.
Tributes left for him online indicate he was a member of the Church Road Soldiers – a gang known to operate out of the Church End estate in Harlesden.
