Janayo Lucima was killed by a single bullet when he opened his door in Comeragh Road, West Kensington in April 2024.
Police found the 24-year-old on his doorstep after being called at 10.15pm.
It was determined that the shooting was strategically planned, with CCTV showing five of the defendants meeting at Fabian Road in Fulham earlier during the evening.
Phone records showed one suspect, Khuder Al-Kurdi, was pretending to set up a drug deal with Janayo.
Mohammed Mansaray, of Neasden Lane, was seen flashing the gun as they waited.
Al-Kurdi then gave the signal for the defendants to make their way to Comeragh Road, with some changing their clothes on the way.
Mansaray, now 18, positioned himself opposite the target’s house.
Janayo was then lured outside by Al-Kurdi, and in less than a minute Mansaray shot the victim.
The group of offenders fled the scene, with some discarding the weapons they were carrying, including knives..
Out of the six, five left the country days after the murder.
Arrests made
Mansaray travelled to Scotland days after and was arrested in Glasgow on April 6 last year.
Muktar Said, 23, of Franklin Square in West Kensington, was described as the other ringleader.
He was also arrested in Glasgow on April 6.
Al-Kurdi, 22, of Fulham Palace Road, was arrested on April 6 in London.
Police then arrested a 17-year-old from Fulham, who arrived back in the UK from Spain on June 7 last year.
Issa Siteri, 19, of Elm Park Gardens in Chelsea and Yusuf Muhudin Abdi, 19, of Bourne Terrace in Royal Oak, were arrested on June 8 after arriving back from Morocco.
All six have been convicted of murder and are due to be sentenced at the Old Bailey later this year.
‘Will never be able to understand’
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, senior investigating officer from the Specialist Crime Command said: “Our thoughts are with Janayo’s family, who have all been deeply affected by the senseless violence that night. His family attended each day of the trial and listened to every harrowing detail of the traumatic events of the night he was killed.
“None of the defendants provided a truthful explanation as to why he was killed. Janayo’s family will never be able to understand why their loved one was lured to his death and into the sights of the waiting gunman as soon as he emerged, with no opportunity to defend himself.
“This was not a random killing. The defendants came with murderous intent, armed not only with a handgun but also with knives.
“Each of the defendants had their role to play and all of them were participants in the murder of Janayo. With joint participation comes joint responsibility.
“We worked tirelessly over many months, painstakingly gathering evidence to ensure those involved were brought to justice. Violence and the use of weapons will never be tolerated, and we strive to ensure a safer London.”
