He had been driving as part of a convoy of vehicles including a green Lamborghini featuring in drill rap video.

It is alleged a man armed with a large knife ran up to Shane and stabbed him in the chest, piercing his heart.

The attacker also allegedly swung the blade at a second man on a quad bike which was also part of the group near Brixton Tube station.

Despite efforts to save him, Shane, from Thornton Heath, south London, was pronounced dead at the scene on the evening of July 21.

Brandon Aldon McNeil was charged with Shane's murder, attempted murder and possession of a weapon.

The 18-year-old, of Vauxhall, south London, appeared at the Old Bailey for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.

The defendant spoke only to confirm his identity via video link from Thameside jail.

DAYLIGHT HORROR

Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones said: "It is not known if the video was in some way provocative or in some way gang related, but it does seem to have been perceived as a provocative act by those involved [in the attack].

"Jerome is seen riding his own motorbike as part of a convoy of high performance vehicles featured in the film.

"CCTV shows [McNeil] run at Jerome to stab him in the chest and then to place his hand on the body of a green Lamborghini motorcar, also part of the convoy featured in the film.

"He then turned on the driver of another vehicle, a quad-bike, and swung his knife. That was Pierre Johnson. Happily he missed his target."

Judge Simon Mayo QC set a timetable for the case with a plea hearing on October 19.

Remanding McNeil into custody, the judge warned him there was a "high risk" his trial would not take place within the time limit in January due to the limited number of courts available in the pandemic.

Tributes flooded in following Shane's death, including a picture of the scaffolder posing on a blue motorbike.
