Two Harlesden teenagers have been found guilty of the attempted murder of a footballer who was gunned down in a train station.
The youths, aged 16 and 17, who can not be named for legal reasons, blasted the 27-year-old in the back on the platform of Harlesden train station on March 9 this year.
Blackfriars Crown Court heard the victim had been taking part in a football tournament in Stonebridge and was on his way back to his home in south London.
Jurors heard he was targeted for straying onto the Stonebridge Estate.
