Twenty-five years behind bars for Sheffield cousins Two members of the same family are beginning lengthy sentences behind bars for shooting a 23-year-old man in woodland in the Chapeltown area of Sheffield. Ricky Mayfield, 30, and Francis Mayfield, 25, appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on trial for attempted murder and possession of a firearm after the incident in April last year. They were both found guilty of section 18 wounding with intent and possession of a firearm after a nineday trial that began on Wednesday, 17 January. They were both found not guilty of attempted murder.
Appearing at court again yesterday, (Tuesday, 30 January) Ricky, of Norfolk Park Bail Hostel, was sentenced to 15-years in prison for the wounding, with an additional five-years on licence, and fiveyears for possession of a firearm to be served concurrently. Also appearing yesterday, Francis, of Toppham Road, was sentenced to ten-years in prison for the wounding and five-years for possession of a firearm, also to be served concurrently. DC Rob Sommerville, leading the investigation from Zeus, the Force’s dedicated team in tackling and investigating gun
crime, said: “On Sunday, 23 April, a 23-year-old man was riding a quad bike in woodland close to Smithywood in Chapeltown, when he was approached by the Mayfields, who were also on a quad bike, and fired shots directly at him.
“The victim suffered serious injuries to his hand as a result of the attack. An investigation immediately c o m m e n c e d and we arrested both Mayfields in connection to the incident, charging them shortly after with their crimes. “I am pleased with the sentences they have received, this was a completely mindless act of
violence that had every potential to have been fatal and could have resulted in the loss of a loved one for family and friends. “Neither of the Mayfields have
shown any remorse for their actions, they believed they were above the law, choosing to possess an illegal weapon and thinking they could use it to threaten and injure
an individual and not be held responsible for their crimes. “I hope this sends out a very clear message that we are committed and we will always
investigate any form of criminality. With the help from our communities we can achieve justice and results such as this, as our priority is to ensure our residents are protected and
kept safe and those who choose to be involved in crime are held to account.”
