Lianne Gordon, a 42-year-old mother of two from Hackney, has been remembered as a pillar of her community following a fatal shooting incident. Her best friend, Jackie Finnigan, 52, a nurse, paid a heart-wrenching tribute to Lianne, describing her as an “amazing” woman who was central to bringing her community together.
The tragic event unfolded at 6.30pm yesterday in Vine Close, Hackney, where Lianne was shot and killed outside her home. The incident, which left the neighborhood in shock, also resulted in injuries to a 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man, believed to be non-life threatening. It has been confirmed that all three victims were known to each other.
Speaking from the scene, Jackie Finnigan expressed her profound grief and shock, highlighting how Lianne always strived to unite the community through gatherings such as barbeques. “She would never see anyone go without; she was always there for everyone,” Jackie lamented, underscoring the void Lianne’s untimely passing has left in the hearts of those who knew her.
Forensic officers have been active at the scene in Vine Close as the investigation into the shooting continues. The incident has raised concerns among local residents, with many echoing the sentiment of shock and fear. Lucinda Ledeatte, 68, a local resident, remembered Lianne as bubbly and outgoing, expressing disbelief at the occurrence of such a violent act in their neighborhood.
Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway informed that another shooting had occurred in the same location just three days earlier, adding to the unease among residents. Corina Pasha, a five-year resident of the road, recounted how officers had found shotgun shells, leading to a temporary road closure. Other locals corroborated the accounts of gunshots over the weekend.
The neighborhood is now gripped with fear and uncertainty, with one resident noting the difficulty in distinguishing between fireworks and gunshots. The recent events have led to heightened concerns about safety and the need for increased vigilance in the area.
Lianne’s tragic death has not only left a community in mourning but also raised questions about the safety and security in the area. As the investigation continues, the Hackney community stands together, remembering Lianne Gordon for her spirit and the profound impact she had on those around her. Her loss is felt deeply, not just by her immediate family, but by the entire community she so lovingly served.
