A teenager has been found guilty of attempted murder after shooting a man and an innocent schoolgirl in the street.
Rio Jones opened fire on his "enemy" on Upper Warwick Street in Toxteth on the evening of March 1 this year in the midst of a feud between two rival gangs. One of his six shots hit the man in the wrist, while another struck a 15-year-old who was sat at a nearby bus stop in the neck.
The 19-year-old defendant, of Jermyn Street, was today unanimously convicted of attempted murder by a jury after two hours and 43 minutes of deliberations. He was also found guilty of one count of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, having earlier admitted possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and will be sentenced on December 9.
