Black Lives Matter activist Sasha Johnson is critically ill after being shot in the head, her party says.

The Taking the Initiative Party said she was being treated in intensive care after being “brutally attacked” in the early hours of Sunday.

The group said the attack, which happened in Peckham, south London, followed “numerous death threats”.

Police have not confirmed her identity but said at this stage there was no evidence the attack was targeted.

Officers said the 27-year-old woman was taken to a south London hospital with life-threatening injuries and have appealed for witnesses.

Police said at this stage there was no evidence to suggest it was a targeted shooting or that she had received any credible threats against her.

Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command have been conducting inquiries at the scene and the surrounding area and are pursuing a number of lines.

It is believed the shooting happened near a house where a party was taking place and a number of people may have been in the area, a Met Police statement said.

Det Ch Insp Jimi Tele said: “This was a shocking incident that has left a young woman with very serious injuries. Our thoughts are with her family who are being provided with support at this terribly difficult time.”

He added: “If you saw anything suspicious in the Consort Road area in the early hours of Sunday morning, or if you have heard information since that could help detectives, it is crucial that you get in touch.”

Black Lives Matters UK tweeted it was shocked by the shooting of “a young mother and fearless political campaigner who was at the forefront of many BLM protests last summer”.

It said that while she was not part of their own organisation, “she impressively founded a new Black-led political party and was dedicated to resist anti-Black racism”.

Announcing that a vigil would be held for her on Monday afternoon at King’s College Hospital, it added: “Any attempt to intimidate or silence her, is an attack on all of us.”
