Four men have denied conspiracy to murder over the shooting of a black equal rights campaigner.
Sasha Johnson, 27, was left in a critical condition after being shot in the head at a house party in Peckham, south London, in the early hours of 23 May.
She continues to receive hospital treatment and is in a “serious but stable” condition, Scotland Yard said.
Ms Johnson was wounded during a silent disco in the garden of a property in Consort Road.
Prince Dixon, 25, of Gravesend, Kent; Cameron Deriggs, 18, of Lewisham; and Troy Reid, 20, and Devonte Brown, 19, both of Southwark, are all charged with conspiracy to murder.
They are also charged with possession of a handgun and ammunition with intent to endanger life.
All four men appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from HMP Belmarsh.
