Tyler Roberts-Emmanuel has been convicted of shooting and killing Shaquille Graham outside Silks in South London almost a year ago.


Tyler Roberts-Emmanuel — a 19-year-old man charged with shooting Shaquille Graham to death outside Catford, south London nightclub Silks just over a year ago — has been convicted of murder in the Central Criminal Court.

Initial evidence suggested that Roberts-Emmanuel, 19, had walked up to Graham, 30, early in the morning of March 10 and shot him in the throat with a handgun. Further investigation determined that Roberts-Emmanuel made a “dummy run” on a scooter in the hours leading up to the shooting, leading jurors to believe it was planned.

“When he arrived, he circled the area, apparently looking for a target,” said Prosecutor Joel Smith KC. “He lay in wait opposite the club. 20 minutes later, he saw Mr. Graham and moved. He rode directly to Mr. Graham, and stopped a few paces away. He got off the scooter, walked to Mr. Graham and without pause, shot him through the throat.”

“Mr. Graham never stood a chance,” Smith continued. “He collapsed and died immediately.”

Evidence connecting Roberts-Emmanuel to the murder included the scooter, a Kaboo Wolf Warrior 11, which he had attempted to purchase the previous month. His mobile phone history also indicated that he was present at the time of the murder.

Roberts-Emmanuel had said that the gunman was a relative he chose not to name. He said that they also stayed at the address belonging to his grandmother that he, in fact, drove from when he committed the murder.

Silks, which opened in 2020, consists of a main dancefloor area as well as a lounge. Artists like Supa D, Pioneer, DJ Vibes, and Mark Radford routinely perform at the nightclub.

Tyler Roberts-Emmanuel is now awaiting a sentencing set for April 4.
