A young music producer was stabbed to death in Mottingham after he got caught in the middle of a gang feud, a court has heard.

Dean Pascal-Modeste, 21, was the victim of the dispute between B Side gang and their rival Splash in south-east London, the jury were told.

Four defendants from Deptford, Lewisham and Catford stand trial at the Old Bailey accused of murdering the young man as he was one his way to record a music video.

The court heard the victim had nothing to do with gangs and only wanted to make a name for himself in the music business.

Young men associated with B Side allegedly armed themselves with guns and knives and chased Mr Pascal-Modeste down like a "pack of wolves", the court was told.

Mr Pascal-Modeste had been travelling from his home in Barking to Grove Park on the evening of February 24 to record a music video to post on YouTube with two friends Gabriel Tavarez and Keanu Noble.

As Mr Pascal-Modeste sat on a wall with Mr Noble, two mopeds appeared "from nowhere", and one of the riders produced a gun and pointed it at them, the court heard.

The pair ran away and another group of youths appeared on foot and chased after them armed with weapons, jurors were told.

Prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors the youths were working together to orchestrate an "ambush on two fronts".

He said: "Dean was hunted down and surrounded. The group of youths crowded around him and attacked him.

"In the course of a pitiless attack, Dean sustained 14 separate stab wounds."

Mr Pascal-Modeste was left bleeding to death on the ground.

Prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC told jurors the attack in broad daylight was "as outrageous as it was brazen" and was witnessed by parents collecting their children from school.

He said: "The prosecution suggest this was not a spontaneous eruption of violence brought on by a dirty look or a word spoken out of place.

"Instead, this was a co-ordinated attack in which a number of those involved were armed either with guns or knives."

The "savage attack" bore all the hallmarks of gang-related violence, Mr Aylett said.

"The prosecution allege that the murder of Dean Pascal-Modeste has its roots in a poisonous feud between the Splash gang and the B Side gang.

"Dean was stabbed to death not for who he was or for anything that he had done, instead, he was murdered for the company that he kept."

Corey Donaldson, 18, of Abinger Grove in Deptford, Alex Scott, 18, from Ludwick Mews in Lewisham, Uzoeme Emeofa, 19, Bromley Road in Catford, and Devone Pusey, 20, Sedgehill Road in Catford, are on trial accused of the killing. They all deny murder.

Two other suspects had fled to the country to America and Jamaica, the court heard.
