A 17-year-old boy has been found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm after shooting a teenager in a dispute over a fatal road accident.

Danny Stevens, who was 17 at the time, was severely injured after being shot in Hearsey Gardens, Blackwater, on February 10, last year.

He remains paralysed from the waist down.

The defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was cleared at Winchester Crown Court of attempted murder but found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

The jury was unable to come to a verdict in relation to 51-year-old Samantha Binfield, also from Blackwater, and Glen Johnson, 43, of no fixed address, who were both charged with assisting an offender.

Andy Houston QC, prosecuting, told the trial that there had been tensions between the defendant and Mr Stevens following a road accident in 2017.

Mr Houston said: "Danny Stevens was a friend of that young man who died. There was clearly tension between (the defendant) and Danny Stevens."

The prosecutor said phone messages suggested that the defendant's mother had been assaulted by Mr Stevens on the day before the shooting.

Mr Houston said: "That may be the reason he shot him, in revenge."

The 17-year-old boy found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm will be sentenced on November 15 at Bristol Crown Court.

A hearing will be held on October 31 at Winchester Crown Court to decide whether a retrial will take place for the two co-defendants.
