Courtney Ellis and Aaron Youngsam were both accused of Small's murder, however the Total Crime website now only states that Ellis is accused of Small's murder, as well as the attempted murder of Serge Mukendi.

Planned escape was necessary and couldn't be left to chance."The blue Mini would immediately be circulated by police as the suspect vehicle. Those in it needed a ready-made escape plan.
"He added: "The Volvo driven by Youngsam was integral to that plan. The driver had to be someone who could be trusted. Youngsam was such a person."He would know the identity of the gunman and driver. He would have to be part of the plan before the shooting, he would have known the details of the plan, what was intended and have been prepared to act as part of a team at a moment's notice."
