A man who was shot in the street by a member of a rival gang has been convicted of firearms offences.
Shakur Watson survived an attempt on his life by Rio Jones, having been hit in the wrist by one of six gunshots fired at him by the teenager. The ECHO has been unable to name the target of the shooting until now due to a court order protecting his identity, pending the conclusion of his trial for possession of a firearm and ammunition.
But the 20-year-old can now be named after a jury at Liverpool Crown Court found him guilty of both counts on Thursday. It came in the same week that Jones was convicted of attempting to murder him.
