Alfred Thompson, 26, of Oak Lane, in Whitefield, Manchester, and Silvino Salmon, 20, of Crondall Street, in the Moss Side area of Manchester, appeared at Bradford Magistrates' Court accused of murdering Damian Gordon.

Mr Gordon, 30, also known as Mikey, collapsed on the pavement outside Club Icon, on Westgate, in Bradford, after he was shot in the chest on August 3 this year.

He was pronounced dead a short time later in hospital.

Mr Gordon lived in the Swain House area of Bradford with his wife, Brenda, and their four-year-old son, Colbey.

Thompson and Salmon sat in the dock flanked by two security guards, with a further two guards sat between them.

The two defendants spoke only to confirm their names, addresses, dates of birth and ages during the hour-and-a-half hearing.

Friends and family sat in the public gallery of the court to listen as details of the charges were outlined to the magistrates.

Applications for bail were refused and the pair were remanded in custody to appear before Bradford Crown Court on November 7.

Owen Bell, 32, of Marlborough Road, in Salford, Greater Manchester, was charged with Mr Gordon's murder in August this year. He is currently remanded in custody awaiting trial.
