The rapper from New York, who was featured on Tim Westwood’s YouTube channel, was one of a group of assassins who attacked Dean Pascal-Modeste, a young music producer, while brandishing knives and machetes.
On the afternoon of February 24, 2017, horrified parents on the school run watched the incident in Lambscroft Avenue, Mottingham, southeast London, where 21-year-old Pascal-Modeste was “hunted down” and stabbed 14 times.
The victim’s injuries, which included cuts to his left lung and skull, caused him to pass away at the scene.
Following the murder, Williamson, also known as Tizzy, emigrated to the US. On May 1 of last year, he was extradited from Washington DC back to the UK.
He denied committing the killing, but an Old Bailey jury found him guilty of murder.
A long-running feud between the “B-Side” gang of Lewisham and the “Splash Gang” of Grove Park served as the inspiration for the murder.
Although Mr. Pascal-Modeste was not implicated in either, the prosecution claims that he was killed “because of the company he had kept.”
