Boscombe was part of The Team along with Agboola and Mingoes.
Mingoes was believed to have dealt the fatal blow.
Usherwood's role was setting up The Ambush by meeting The Intended target on The Morning of the murder.
'Cowardly'Police said it was " a hugely complex investigation" which saw 23 People arrested.

Det Ch Insp Rob Routledge, who led The Investigation for Nottinghamshire Police , said: " Anton was asked to act as a peacemaker between two feuding groups - and it cost him his life.
