On Thursday 9th June, MizOrMac was jailed for nine years after pointing a gun at a police officer in Woolwich in November 2020.
Drill rapper and member of the Harlem spartans, Mizormac who is officially known as Mucktar Khan, has been sent to prison for nine years.Khan, who hails from Kennington, Lambeth, and three others were accused of shooting the Afroswing artist Midas The Jagaban and her manager in Woolwich on November 30th 2020.The police report stated:
"Four suspects were subsequently detained and arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life; possession of ammunition; possession of an offensive weapon and aggravated vehicle taking." However, he was acquitted of attempted murder at Croydon Crown Court in April.In a quote from his solicitors website, "Drystone Chambers Michael Magarian QC secures acquittal of one of the UK's leading drill artists Mucktar Khan on allegations that he shot musician Midas the Jagoban and her manager at a recording studio in Woolwich Dockyard.
The trial, which lasted for five weeks at Croydon Crown Court, involved an analysis of, and criticism of, the Met's handling of key exhibits. "After the incident, a police officer, PC Elwood, was threatened with a gun while chasing after Khan.Khan reportedly pointed a Turkish Retay 9mm semi-automatic handgun at PC Elwood and his police dog, PD Cruz. Despite this, the officer kept chasing Khan and he was eventually arrested by firearms officers in a nearby estate.
PC Elwood said: "When the gun was pointed directly at my face my instant reaction was to turn away in fear, I thought I was about to be killed. However I continued to chase after them as they are dangerous individuals who needed removing from the streets. Had I not have continued to chase after them then they would have got away and still had access to a deadly firearm."The presence of two police dogs during this incident was instrumental.
One of the dogs found a discarded firearm and another played a significant role in capturing one of the suspects. I joined the police so I could stop violent and dangerous criminals who pose a risk to society from causing harm to communities and this case is a classic example of that."After a trail at Croydon Crown Court, which took place over five-weeks, Mucktar Khan was convicted of "possession of a prohibited firearm and additionally convicted of possession of a firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence".
Detective Constable Andy Brackley, who works in the Trident team investigating non-fatal shootings, said: "The actions of these four men that night were brazen and extremely reckless. We don't believe the two victims shot that night were the intended targets and it is only down to sheer luck that their injuries were not fatal. Although both have recovered they are both still suffering with the long-term health implications caused by their injuries."
