A thug who shot a man multiple times has been jailed for 31 years.
Evil Shea Williams, 31, of Willesden Green,(PIctured) was sentenced at Isleworth Crown Court on Thursday after being found guilty of attempted murder after a trial at the same venue in April.
The court heard that at 7.30am on October 30 2021, Williams and two of his accomplices, chased a 30 year-old man out of a Halloween silent disco at an address in Hillfield Avenue, Wembley.

Williams produced a self-loading handgun and shot the victim a number of times as the men tried to escape.
The group ran off and got into two separate cars before making off from the scene, Scotland Yard said.
Officers from the Met’s Trident team investigating the shooting found that part of the attack had been captured on a doorbell camera, but the images were too distant to identify the suspects.

CCTV examined by detectives revealed the suspect parking his car, arriving at the party and staying for a few hours before carrying out the attack but the registration of the vehicle could not be made out.
Detectives also discovered that CCTV captured a traffic warden issuing a ticket to the car for illegally parking on the pavement around ten minutes before the shooting.
The number plates of the car on the body camera helped police officers trace owners of the vehicles.
They identified, arresteda nd charged Williams and within 72 hours of the incident he had been identified, apprehended and charged.
Detectives gathered further evidence through mobile phone enquiries as well as the car’s GPS and ANPR data which placed him travelling to and from the area at the relevant times.
Williams’ car was also seized and inside officers found a sophisticated hide, which could only be opened by sliding the mirror and pressing the fog lights.
They also found a quantity of drugs and gunshot residue was present in the hide itself.
The victim sustained seven gunshot wounds and was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
He underwent emergency surgery but has been left with life-changing injuries.
As well as 31 years behind bars, Williams was also sentenced to 13 years for possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, 39 months for possession of ammunition and 45 months for two counts of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, all to run concurrently.
Det Con Jonny Wise said: “Williams is one of London’s most dangerous criminals who has shown no remorse nor ever accepted his guilt throughout proceedings.
“He brought a loaded firearm to a party before chasing and shooting a defenceless man multiple times.
“As the victim lay injured in the road, Williams closed in to virtually point blank range of the victim and shot him several more times, intending to kill him.
“A motive for the shooting has never been established. It is by sheer luck that the victim survived his injuries.
“As this case illustrates, we are committed to tackling serious violence and removing lethal
barrelled weapons from the hands of organised criminals.”
Two other men were acquitted of attempted murder at the same trial.
