A 15-year-old boy was shot while on the ground by another child aged 14 and stabbed eight times by other young people in a 30-second attack in broad daylight, a jury has heard. Keon Lincoln died just over two hours after the attack when he was hacked at with large knives in Handsworth, Birmingham, on 21 January this year, just outside his home. He was taken for emergency treatment to Birmingham children’s hospital, where his injuries were too severe for him to be saved. The gunshots attracted a crowd including the victim’s mother, Sharmaine, who was heard to say: “He’s only 15” as her son lay dying. Five teenagers aged between 14 and 18 all deny murder, a jury at Birmingham crown court heard. The 14-year-old denies having a gun with intent to endanger life. Prosecutor Michael Burrows QC said the attack had been captured on CCTV, with the attackers clad in masks and gloves at the height of a coronavirus lockdown. “They all wore their hoods up so their faces could not be seen. The CCTV shows one of the individuals had a gun and shot at Keon Lincoln twice. One of the shots hit Keon Lincoln in the stomach and caused fatal injuries,” he said. Burrows added: “The prosecution say the gunman was … and is 14 years old. He is charged with murder and with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. As I understand, he disputes that he was present and was the gunman.” The accused include a 14-year-old from Birmingham and a 16-year-old from Walsall, who are too young to be named. Also on trial are Kieron Donaldson, 18, of Perry Barr, who is alleged to have supplied the weapons but not to have been at the scene of the attack. Tahjgeem Breakenridge, 18, of Balsall Heath and Michael Ugochukwu, 18, of Edgbaston, are also accused of murder. The “gang” of attackers are alleged to have been armed with large knives, with Lincoln suffering stab wounds to the legs and back as well as being shot in the abdomen. The prosecutor said: “He was shot at whilst he was on the ground. Still, the group continued to attack him, stabbing and hacking at him with large knives. Eventually, the group ran away and got back into a white Ford S-Max and that car was driven away from the scene.” The car was stolen, the jury heard, and it was crashed soon after the attack. The jury were told forensic evidence tied defendants to the attack. Burrows told the jury: “The car they were going to use was a stolen car on false plates. When they got out of the car, they wore face masks and gloves. They also made sure that their phones did not betray their movements. “Plainly, it’s obvious this attack was planned. The attackers were out together armed with weapons. “In the case of [the 14-year-old], he was armed with a gun loaded with ammunition. “In short, the prosecution say, when you consider all the evidence from the CCTV and phone records, it is clear that these defendants are those shown in the CCTV, and that they were all involved in the murder of Keon Lincoln.” The trial continues.
