THIS is the first picture of the gunman who shot a young couple 15 times during a terrifying attack in a South Croydon flat. 

Zarak McKoy, 23, forced his way into Channel Wilson's home in Kingsdown Avenue in the early hours of July 6 last year and shot her boyfriend, 19-year-old Shaquille Forde-Morgan, 13 times at close range. 

Miss Wilson, 20, was hit in the back and thigh as she tried to help her partner.  

They were taken to hospital where it was discovered all of Mr Forde-Morgan's wounds were in his legs or groin. 

Surgeons decided it would be too risky to remove a bullet lodged in his tibia. 

McKoy, of Hambrook Road, South Norwood, was cleared of two counts of attempted murder earlier this month following a trial at Croydon Crown Court. 

He was found guilty of two counts of wounding with intent as well as possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life.

DC Peter Whibley, of the Metropolitan Police's Trident Shootings Team, said: "I am pleased that the jury has found McKoy guilty.

"He went out that morning intent on causing fear and intimidation. When the victim did not open the door, he forced his way into the address and without hesitation repeatedly shot her and her boyfriend.

"The injuries that both victims received were significant. Between them they received 15 gunshot wounds. It is sheer luck that they survived these injuries."

McKoy will be sentenced for the shootings and possession of an offensive weapon on March 20.
