Joshua Alexander, a 17-year-old, has been sentenced to a minimum of 29 years for the murder of Lianne Gordon, who was shot in the head through her front door in Hackney, London. The shooting occurred on December 5, 2023, as Gordon attempted to protect her children from gang violence. The court heard that Alexander was part of a gang feud and had a history of convictions. Judge David Aubrey expressed that Gordon’s home should have been a sanctuary, while family members mourned her loss.
