Description

We dive into the brutal reality of London’s gangland, where imprisoned but still powerful leaders Young Dizz and CB preside over the rival Beckton Boys and Woodgrange gangs. CJ’s name appears on a leaked police “gang matrix”, giving rise to the chilling question: Was CJ Davis a targeted victim of this deadly turf war?


Corey Junior Davis was just 14 when he was shot dead on the afternoon of 4 September 2017. In this series, crime correspondent John Simpson exposes the systemic failings, rivalries and silence surrounding CJ’s killer.
