Two men handed 12 year sentences over fatal drive-by shooting in Wakefield
Dale Stogden was shot and killed on Doncaster Road last August
Two men have each been jailed for 12 years over the killing of a man in a drive-by shooting in Wakefield last August.
Dale Stogden, who was also known as Brett, suffered a fatal gunshot wound on Doncaster Road on August 12 last year.
He died in hospital less than an hour later.
Adam Ahmed, aged 21, and Marc Carter, aged 20, both from Wakefield, were found guilty of manslaughter last week at Leeds Crown Court and were sentenced earlier today.
Leyton Davies, aged 28, of Ossett, was convicted of murder and will be sentenced in May.
Investigations revealed Brett was with a female friend at the time of the shooting. It appeared he may not have been the intended target, as two other men who were present fled immediately afterward.
CCTV footage showed the defendants driving around the Agbrigg area earlier that day and exchanging messages suggesting they were searching for these men.
On the night of the incident, Ahmed was seen concealing a machete before entering the stolen and cloned Toyota RAV4 used in the crime.
Ahmed drove past the group once before turning around, allowing Davies to fire the fatal shot from an open window as they drove by the bus stop outside the BP petrol station.
The gun used was believed to be a converted blank firing pistol.
The RAV4 was found abandoned the following day, and taxi records confirmed the defendants were picked up near the location.
