We offer £20,000 reward after Swindon teenager shot in the head

We are offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information on the attempted murder of a teenage boy who was shot in the head in Swindon this April. 
 
The 17-year-old suffered life-changing injuries in the early hours of Monday 24 April 2023 when he was attacked on Odstock Road in Penhill. The victim was taken by air ambulance to John Radcliffe Hospital, where it was found he had suffered extensive wounds.
 
At 12.07am, CCTV shows five suspects travelling along Ramsbury Avenue on three electric bikes. Two of the bikes were carrying two people. They then made their way towards the victim where a sixth unknown suspect joined them at 12.18am. The emergency services were called shortly after this time to treat the victim.

GIVE INFORMATION ANONYMOUSLY

 

*** Crimestoppers is independent of the police – we are supporting this investigation by offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information we exclusively receive which leads to the arrest and conviction of anyone linked to this incident. ***

“This is a truly awful case, which is why our charity has now become involved. We believe there are people who want to support the young victim, but going to the police is not an option. Were you there on the night or have you heard anything about what happened? Coming forward is never easy, but if you contact Crimestoppers, you can still make a difference whilst remaining completely anonymous.
 
“We are independent of the police and exist to give people the courage to speak up. Since we began in the late 1980s, we have always guaranteed anonymity. Protecting you is key to everything we do. You can tell Crimestoppers what you know and we’ll pass it on for you. Your information may help the victim and his family get the justice they deserve and you could also be eligible for a reward of up to £20,000.”
