The shooting happened at a gathering in memory of Akeem Bailey, 17, who was stabbed to death in October, 2022.
Mourners had gathered at St Mary’s Church Hall on Hamstead Road, Lozells, Birmingham, on the evening of February 24, 2023.
At around 6pm, four shots were fired from a stolen Nissan Qashqai towards a crowd of people, before the vehicle sped off.
A man aged 19 was shot in the chest and another man the same age was hit in the left foot. An 18-year-old man was hit in the right knee, while a girl aged 14 was hurt when she was knocked over and trampled as people fled the gunshots.
Police identified Meshaq Berryman as the gunman who opened fire from a rear passenger seat of the vehicle.

The next day the car was found abandoned two miles away in Little Francis Grove, Nechells.
After a three-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court last year, Berryman was found guilty of three charges of attempted murder. He had earlier admitted possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and cannabis, after more than 40 wraps of drugs, along with digital scales were found at his home.
This week at Birmingham Crown Court, Berryman was jailed for life with a minimum term of 24 years.
