Shocking CCTV footage shows the moment two teenage killers celebrated in the street after moving into fist bump the victim before stabbing him in the heart. 

Brandon Price, 19, and a 15-year-old teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, stabbed Jack Norton in front of two female friends on December 7 last year in a ‘savage and unprovoked attack’. 

Wolverhampton Crown Court heard that the pair ‘whooped with excitement’ after Price stabbed 18-year-old Mr Norton at a park in Darlaston, Walsall, West Midlands after he appeared to move in to fist bump him. 

Mr Norton died from a stab wound to his heart. 

Price and the unnamed youth have been found guilty of murder. Both face life in prison and are set to be sentenced on January 5.

The court previously heard that Mr Norton had spent the day with two friends, and that all three were walking along Franchise Street when they were stopped by the defendants. 

All five then walked into Cook Street onto a field known locally as Cookie Park, where the younger boy became aggressive towards Mr Norton. 

The court heard that he started to threaten Mr Norton, saying he wanted to slash him, set him on fire and run him over, which made Mr Norton want to leave. 

Mr Norton then indicated to his friends that they should leave. But as he went to fist bump Price as he said goodbye, Price swung at him with a knife ‘without warning’, striking him several times. 

The defendants then ran from the park as Mr Norton’s friends called 999. 

Price and the unnamed teenager were later caught on CCTV running down Cook Street before they dumped the weapon in a drain.

One of them was heard saying: ‘You didn’t think we’d do it – we’ve done it, we’ve done it’. 

Both defendants were arrested days after the attack, when they found traces of Mr Norton’s blood on clothes they had worn that night. 

During the trial, Price claimed that he had acted in self-defence. The unnamed teenager admitted that he had been present, but denied any involvement. 

But, the jury found them both guilty of murder after the court heard that the younger defendant had ‘egged on’ Price. 

Detective Chief Inspector Hannah Whitehouse, from West Midlands Police’s homicide unit, said: ‘This was a totally unprovoked yet premeditated attack on a defenceless teen, who was simply hanging out with his friends.

‘His family still don’t know why he was targeted and this just adds to their distress and the injustice of his loss.

‘I hope that the conviction of his killers gives them some peace as they continue to grieve.’
