A teenage gunman who was caught on CCTV opening fire in a busy pub car park while terrified customers ran for their lives has been jailed for eight-and-a-half years.
Chilling footage captured the moment Jaekwon Marks, 19, blasted two shots from a handgun at gang rivals sat in a white Mercedes.
The thug can be seen walking across the car park of the Hunters Moon pub in Hodge Hill, Birmingham - before pulling out the firearm and shooting at the vehicle.

But he missed his target - leaving the Mercedes C200 with a bullet hole in its bonnet - before fleeing in a waiting taxi he had booked to nearby Chipperfield Road on July 13 last year.
Detectives found CCTV footage of Marks getting into a taxi with several associates at the Bradford Arms pub, a mile and a half away, moments before the shooting.
Officers were then able to trace the teenage gangster to an address in south London where he was arrested nine days later.
On Monday Marks was jailed after admitting possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life at Birmingham Crown Court.
After the case, Detective Constable Liam O'Brien, of West Midlands Police, said: 'It was a bright summer's evening, a Friday night, and the pub car park was busy.'
