Ms Bex said: “Kamal Benjamin performs music under the name of Wesson and messages between Mr Tokosi and Mr Benjamin were recovered on both Snapchat and Instagram.
Ms Bex said that either Mr Benjamin did not leave the UK on November 5 2023 – as the evidence suggested he had – or his DNA had been left in the Audi by someone with whom he had been in close contact.
Investigators found DNA allegedly belonging to artist Kamal Benjamin, aka Wesson, and his close friend Nathan Tokosi, aka Digdat, in a stolen Audi used in the shooting.
Ms Bex said police made inquiries about Mr Benjamin’s whereabouts at the time of the shooting and established he had been released from prison on licence.
On November 6 2023, Tokosi sent Mr Benjamin a photo of them both sitting in a car – believed to be a Lamborghini – with the caption “My N****” and a heart emoji.
