A 14-year-old gunman and three other teenagers ave been found guilty of murdering schoolboy Keon Lincoln.

Keon Lincoln, 15, was stabbed then shot in the stomach while on the ground despite trying to escape the gang attack in a street near his home in broad daylight.

He was pronounced dead two hours later at Birmingham Children’s Hospital in January this year.
