"The murder was, it would seem, an act of petty revenge after a fight between Mr Mitchell and the first defendant in this case at a nightclub a couple of years previously. The trivial motive dated back to May 2019 when Mr Mitchell allegedly hit Veii in the face and another man was knocked over by a car after a fight broke out between their groups at Granaries nightclub in Croydon."
"In the hours before his death, Mr Mitchell had been at his mother's house and gone back to the Granaries nightclub before moving on to the silent disco at 4.30am. Jurors were told a silent disco or headphones party was an event in which people paid for headphones to hear music. Mr Mitchell's alleged killers had spent the evening in an area of West Croydon known as The Strip and arrived at the Birdhurst Road venue in a BMW at 2.10am, jurors heard."
On 2 October 2021, Leroy Mitchell, 35, was fatally shot outside a silent disco at a house in Croydon. The killing is alleged to be petty revenge following a May 2019 altercation when Mitchell allegedly struck Alpacino Veii and a separate man was knocked over by a car after a fight at Granaries nightclub. Mitchell arrived at about 4.30am and was reportedly fatally shot around 4.50am in the car park with a 12-bore shotgun. Two men, Alpacino Veii (29) and Cimarron Dume-Gooden (32), are on trial at the Old Bailey accused of his murder.
