Moment trio desperately tried to cover their tracks after horror shooting

Video footage has been released of the moment police found a car that had been set alight by a group of thugs who were desperately trying to cover their tracks after a shooting.

Three men - Tyler Harrison, 20; James Gregory, 20; and Jacob Humphreys, 21 - all 'carefully planned and coordinated' the attack on Aspinall Crescent in Little Hulton, on May 26 last year.

Gunshots were blasted at a property, with 20-year-old Samuel Adesanya shot in the chest. A court previously heard how at around 9.28pm, the three defendants, along with four others, pulled up outside the house in a stolen Vauxhall Insignia.

The court was told how most of the men in the group were armed at the time of the shooting, with one of them carrying a loaded firearm and others holding machetes and 'zombie' knives.

They began 'banging and shouting' on windows, before using the weapons to smash the windows of a car and the windows of the house in a 'deliberate attempt to frighten' those inside. The victim, Mr Adesanya, was a visitor at the home and was in the hallway when he was shot. He was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries but survived the horror attack.

Detectives focused on CCTV from the scene of the shooting, which enabled them to trace the movements of the three men to key locations.

The Vauxhall Insignia was later found to have been dumped and set on fire, around 90 minutes after the shooting. The blaze was started deliberately 'in attempts to remove evidence'. The car had been driven on false number plates, stolen from Hale a month earlier.

Gregory was caught on CCTV carrying the false number plates which were found on the Insignia. The gun used in the shooting was found by police a month later at a property in Farnworth.
