During the shooting caught on camera, a rival was shot in the neck as Chand fired multiple shots into his car as it travelled through the residential area. Footage on CCTV then showed Chang running along the road after getting out of a car driven by Simpson.

The .44 calibre revolver was fired in close proximity to the victim, who then attempted to drive away. Chand discharges two more shots, though this time in the general direction of his target.
Footage of the attack was captured on the victim's dash-cam, which was then given to the police.
Upon further investigation, police officials discovered that Chang and his friends were distributors of cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin across the wider county.

Their music videos aided police officials in identifying key locations and members, which were then confirmed by aerial drone footage and bugs placed in the group's cars.
Following a 15 week trial in September, Chand and six others were convicted of drug and weapons charges.
Among the long list of offences, the group were found guilty of conspiracy to possess firearms with intent to endanger life and conspiracy to possess ammunition without a certificate.
On October 25, Chand was jailed for life and will serve a minimum of 20 years.
"As this footage makes clear, these men were extremely dangerous," said Detective Chief Inspector Richard Bull.
"Led by Chand they had built up an extremely profitable drugs empire and were very clearly willing to use potentially lethal violence to protect it from people they saw as rivals."
