A man has been charged with four counts of attempted murder after a shooting that left a nine-year-old girl seriously injured.
The girl was one of four people injured at a restaurant following the shooting in Kingsland High Street in Dalston, east London, at around 9:20pm on 29 May.
Police have said they are still keen to hear from members of the public who may have information about the identity of a man seen on a motorbike on the high street at the time of the attack.
At the time, the Metropolitan Police said the child was "fighting for her life", while three men who were sat outside - aged 26, 37 and 42 - were also injured.
In an update on Saturday, the force said Javon Reily - who was arrested in August following a vehicle stop in Chelsea Embankment - has been charged with four counts of attempted murder.
The 32-year-old, from Farnborough in Hampshire, was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on 6 September.
A 35-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and assisting an offender has been released on police bail.
The Met Police said the girl remains in hospital in a stable condition.
Her family has been informed of the charges and continue to be supported by specially trained officers, the force added.
The three men who were injured were earlier released from hospital.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway, lead for policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said: "Today's charges are a significant development in what has been a painstaking and meticulous investigation. I would like to pay credit to those from our communities who came forward to speak to us.
"Our thoughts remain with our young victim and her family as they continue to confront the devastating effects of gun crime."
Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke who leads the investigation said: "My team continues to work around the clock in order to establish the facts of this incident.
"This is very much still an ongoing investigation and we urge those who have information to come forward. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has information about the identity of an individual seen on a motorcycle in Kingsland High Street at the time of this offence."
