A rapper plotted a shooting in which a gunman opened fire at a house in 'retaliation' after his ex's car had been 'bricked', prosecutors allege.

Olu Tunde Finni, who performs as 'Tunde', is on trial alongside four other men accused of planning the shooting at a property in Moorton Avenue, Burnage.

Mr Finni and his co-accused have pleaded not guilty. Manchester Crown Court heard a gunman fired two shots at a house before the firearm jammed.

No-one was hurt, with the couple who lived in the house asleep in bed. Prosecutors allege the shooting was committed in 'retaliation' after the windows of a car belonging to Mr Finni's ex-girlfriend were 'bricked' by a group of men in Wythenshawe.
