Overview
- At the Old Bailey on Monday, prosecutors said Joseph shot cousin Jordan Rodney after a row at a Hammersmith wake and wounded his brother Omar, with Rodney dying the next day.
- A doorbell camera captured a motorbike arriving at about 11:15pm and two shots, and nearby CCTV tracked a rider leaving Joseph’s Ealing address and returning after the gunfire.
- Jurors were told police later found a black bag with a sawn-off shotgun and that DNA from the gun’s trigger matched Joseph’s profile.
- Officers spotted Joseph’s Mercedes at 8:10am on June 12, leading to a chase that damaged about 20 vehicles, ended in a head-on crash, and concluded with his arrest in an Isleworth garden.
- Joseph pleads not guilty to murder, attempted murder, firearm and prohibited-weapon charges, plus dangerous driving, and jurors were told he has a prior diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia.
