right), who uploaded a video on YouTube boasting about
trying to murder a rival with a machine gun was jailed for
22 years yesterday, Daily Mail reports. His accomplice,
Junior Tahir-Akinyele (pictured left) was jailed for 14
years.
"Kayode Oshin, 21, attempted to assassinate Yassin
Zouaiou with a Mac 10 in a feud over drugs and
money in Hounslow, west London, after being enticed
into a world of gang culture and crime’, a court heard.
Mr Zouaiou survived when the gun jammed - but a
single bullet was fired, hitting his brother Mohammed
Ali Subhani in the neck. But Oshin then posted a rap
video bragging about the shooting on YouTube.
The shooting was carried out in an alleyway between North
Drive and Kingsley Road, Hounslow, at around 1am on
October 6, 2011, the court heard.
Oshin and a second man, Junior Tahir-Akinyele, 19, were
arrested the next day in a white Mercedes-Benz they had
hired for the attack.
Jailing Oshin for 22 years and Tahir-Akinyele for 14 years,
Judge Timothy Pontius said the pair had been ‘enticed into
a world of gang culture and crime’.
‘Oshin you are convicted of attempted murder, your clear
intention was that Yassin Zouaiou should die,’ he added.
‘That intention would undoubtedly have been realised were
it not for the fact that the mechanism on the gun jammed,
releasing only one round.'
Oshin was jailed for 22 years for attempted murder; 16
years imprisonment for possession of a firearm with intent
to endanger life and 14 years for wounding with intent, all
to run concurrent.
Tahir-Akinyele was sentenced to 14 years in a Young
Offenders’ Institution for possession of firearms with intent
to endanger life with 12 years concurrent for wounding with
intent.
