- He was found guilty of murder, possession of a firearm and robbery in Birmingham, West Midlands, on 8 October 2015. He shot his 19-year-old at point-blank range during a confrontation over a £50 bag of cannabis he had stolen from his victims friend earlier that day. The court heard that his victim had demanded the return of the cannabis and was angry that he had threatened his younger brother (with a loaded firearm). His victim stabbed him twice to the stomach when he reached for the firearm. He fired three shots and two of those shots hit his victim. His victim suffered gunshot wounds to his left arm and the left side of his chest and died at the scene.
