Two “evil” gunmen have been jailed for at least 29 years for shooting a “gentle giant” dead on his doorstep in a case of mistaken identity.
Chad Gordon, 27, was blasted in the face when he opened his door to a pair of assassins, who had travelled to his Haringey home on a stolen moped intent on revenge.
The shooting, during the first coronavirus lockdown last year, was said to have been in retribution for the death of the killers’ friend Jemal Ebrahim, who had been stabbed five days before.
However, Mason Sani-Semedo and Cameron Robinson went to the wrong address and shot Mr Gordon instead.
Following a trial at the Old Bailey, Sani-Semedo, 19, from Tottenham, and Robinson, 20, of Dagenham, were found guilty of murder and possession of a gun with intent.
On Tuesday, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb jailed the pair for life with a minimum term of 29 years.
She said Mr Gordon was an “ordinary, dignified, decent man” who was “entirely innocent”.
The judge said: “The hurt caused by his evil murder is immeasurable.”
