A gangster known as 'Marnz Malone' has been found guilty of pointing a gun at a car shortly before he was stabbed 20 times in a subway.
Kimani Shaw aimed the gun at a vehicle while riding his bicycle in Birmingham.
However, the 21-year-old failed to pull the trigger and was chased into an underpass nearby where he was almost killed in a vicious knife attack.
The incident is understood to have led to a revenge shooting 24 hours later, which resulted in the murder of Dante Mullings - as Shaw was fighting for his life in intensive care he was not accused of being part of the plot, Birmingham Live reported.
Shaw was found guilty of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life at Birmingham Crown Court today (July 2).
Two other men were cleared of involvement with the violence.
Clark Tsaty, aged 20, of no fixed address, was found not guilty of the same offence as well as conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to possess a firearm.
Trojay Hardial, aged 18, faced the same conspiracy charges but was deemed unfit to stand trial with the jury finding he had not committed the acts.
Judge Francis Laird QC adjourned sentencing until July 30 in order for the probation service to assess Shaw, of no fixed address, for 'dangerousness'.
He was involved in an 'altercation' with the occupants of the passing Honda around 5pm on May 6, 2019.
But when he failed to discharge the gun it allowed those in the car 'the opportunity to regain control of the situation', said prosecutor Tony Badenoch QC opening the case.
After being stabbed in the underpass shortly after he was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital where fellow B19 gangsters tried to visit him, the court heard.
Mr Badenoch said: "Whoever it was and whatever it was about at Hockley Circus, a well-organised and executed triple shooting followed within 24 hours."
The prosecutor stated 'agreements were made to exact revenge' adding: "This murder was executed in double quick time. The very next day a firearm was repeatedly discharged from a stolen performance car in broad daylight outside a school.
"Such activities are obviously well-resourced. The gun must have been readily available. The car was quickly sourced and a team were ready to move it, false plate it, and shoot bullets from it."
Mr Mullings, aged 23, was sitting in a parked Vauxhall Corsa in St. Vincent Street West on May 7, 2019, when a gunman opened fire from a Volkswagen Passat which pulled up alongside. The other occupants were also injured but survived.
