- Tokosi, 26, from Deptford, was convicted of attempted murder and firearms offences across two trials last year and must serve a minimum of 24 years.
- The court heard Tokosi has a history of violent convictions, including stabbing a victim at age 13, for which he was also convicted of attempted murder.
- Judge Sarah Munro KC, sentencing at the Old Bailey, declared Tokosi a dangerous offender, while Detective Inspector Chris Shepherd said Tokosi’s actions were “premeditated, reckless and malicious”.
