A man has appeared in court charged over the shooting of activist Sasha Johnson.
Johnson, a 27-year-old mother of two, remains in a critical condition after the attack at a house party in Peckham, south London, in the early hours of Sunday.
Cameron Deriggs, 18, of Bromley Hill, Lewisham, was charged on Friday night with conspiracy to murder.
He appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court and was then taken into custody.
Deriggs did not give an indication of plea.
Prosecutor Carol Udenze told the court Ms Johnson was shot in the head while another person was shot in the foot.
“The Crown’s case is that the defendant, in agreement with others, conspired to murder somebody at that address.”
Udenze confirmed the police did not believe Ms Johnson was the intended target.
Several members of Deriggs’s family, including his parents, were present in the public gallery.
His next court appearance will be at the Old Bailey on 25 June.
