Lianne Gordon was shot while sheltering behind her front door hours after returning from a holiday.
A mother was shot dead as she sheltered behind her front door hours after returning from a family holiday in Jamaica, a court has heard.
The shooting of Ms Gordon was alleged to be the culmination of a series of incidents involving the teenage defendant and 21-year-old Elijah Seriki. "She was almost certainly not the target," he told the court. "But her tragic death was the culmination of an escalating dispute between two gangs. That dispute involved both and Elijah Seriki."
The prosecutor told jurors they would be struck by the "obvious devastation" of Ms Gordon's children and wider family but told them they must put any feelings to one side.
