Two teenage drill rappers have been found guilty of m¥rdering an 18-year-old man in Enfield, north London, after a gang rivalry escalated from a dispute on social media.
Emmanuel Popoola, 18, and Tayvon Etefia, 18, were convicted at the Old Bailey of m¥rdering Keanu Harker on June 26 last year. The pair were also found guilty of possessing a self-loading pist%l with intent to end@nger life. They are scheduled to be sentenced later this week.
The court heard that the k+lling was linked to a long-running rivalry between the 3×3 gang and the Get Money Gang (GMG). Prosecutors said the vi%lence was sparked after comments were exchanged on Snapchat, including remarks suggesting Popoola could not afford mobile data.
According to the prosecution, Etefia rode a high-powered electric bike while Popoola sat behind him. They chased Harker, who was also riding a bicycle, before pulling alongside him. Popoola then allegedly fired three sh%ts from close range, striking Harker in the head and chest.
