Dior Jackson, 20, Ihsaan Bernard, 21, Omarni Bernard-Sewell, 21, and Ayuub Mahmood, 19, have been jailed for life after being found guilty of conspiring to murder and possessing a gun with intent to endanger life. In May 2019, a man was shot three times in his lower back while sitting in a parked car in Birmingham, West Midlands. He escaped from his vehicle but died later in hospital. Two other people in the car were injured by gunfire. CCTV footage of the drive-by attack showed the shooter firing at least eight shots while leaning out of the window of a passing car. The assailants’ vehicle, stolen and displaying cloned number plates, was found on fire later the same day. Investigators used CCTV and phone data to track down the suspects and the murder weapon, a 9mm self-loading pistol, was found hidden in bushes in Leicester in November 2019. The court heard that the four assailants had planned the shooting as revenge after a friend was critically injured in a stabbing; however, it has not been proved which man fired the gun. Furthermore, it was revealed that those shot had not been involved in the knife attack. A teenage boy, also charged with conspiracy to murder, will stand trial in May this year.
