A man has been found guilty of fatally shooting an 18-year-old outside a Wembley nightclub.
Tyrece Balcha was found with gunshot wounds outside the Crystal Club in Atlantic Crescent at about 05:30 GMT on 21 September 2025. He was taken to hospital, where he died four days later.
A jury at the Old Bailey found Ashley Wallace, 40, of Shenley Road, Southwark, guilty of murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
At the same trial, two men were found not guilty of murder. A woman was cleared of possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and perverting the course of justice. The jury did not reach a verdict on a fourth man.
CCTV footage showed that Balcha had been involved in an altercation inside the club before being followed outside and shot.
Wallace fled the scene in a vehicle and was arrested on 25 September after police traced the car to south-east London.
A revolver carrying Wallace's DNA was found inside the vehicle, and investigators established that the bullet recovered from the murder scene had been fired from the gun.
