One man was hit in the back and another, Brandon Nolan, narrowly escaped injury at the hands of Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere, 23.
The violence erupted after Nolan and another man were travelling in a taxi in the Derker area of Oldham on January 16 this year.
As the vehicle reached Shaw Road, the men inside the taxi spotted Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere ride by on a Surron electric bike.
He was dressed in all black with his face covered and saw them in the back of the taxi.
Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere then began to follow the taxi and shouted at the driver to let his passengers out.
The driver pulled up and, fearing for his life, fled.
The gunman shouted at the two passengers again to get out and got into the rear of the taxi himself.
As he does so, one of the passengers jumped on the bike Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere had left on the side of the road.
But as he tried to flee, Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere pulled out his handgun and fired, hitting him in the back.
He then turned the gun through the open car door at Nolan who got out brandishing a knife.
Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere fired again, missing Nolan by inches, but causing damage to the taxi.
Nolan then escaped himself and was picked up by another taxi moments later.
Footage of Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere running away and a series of subsequent arrests has also been released, with armed police storming a block of flats in Hulme, Manchester.
As officers made their way into the apartment, a black Puma man bag was launched from a window.
It was later discovered and contained a small silver revolver that had a cylinder chamber with a capacity for five bullets.
Three bullets were loaded and it was believed the two missing bullets were used in the shooting the day before.
Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere was charged with two counts of attempted murder, section 18 assault, and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Ahead of a scheduled trial, he pleaded guilty to Section 18 wounding, attempted Section 18 wounding and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
He was handed a 16 year- prison sentence.
Brandon Nolan, of no fixed address, was also sentenced to 12 months in prison for possession of a blade.
Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley from the Major Incident Team at Greater Manchester Police said: 'Today's sentencing marks a significant milestone in our ongoing fight against gun violence in Oldham.
"Glasgow-Lattibeaudiere showed a complete disregard for public safety when he opened fire in broad daylight back in January, endangering not just his intended targets but innocent members of our community who were simply going about their daily lives.
'Over the past year, our firearms unit has worked tirelessly to tackle gun crime across Oldham.
"We've increased patrols in known hotspots, conducted numerous weapons sweeps, and worked closely with community leaders to identify and disrupt criminal networks."

Man accused of murdering mother-of-six dog walker had previously been jailed for attacking a pensioner that left him with TEN titanium plates in his head, court told
A man accused of murdering a dog walker was previously jailed for attacking a pensioner and leaving him with serious facial injuries, a court heard. Roy Barclay, 56, denies murdering mother-of-six Anita Rose, 57, who was found unconscious in Brantham, Suffolk on July 24 last year, and died four days later on July 28. Jurors were told in agreed facts that Barclay had previously pleaded guilty in August 2015 to grievous bodily harm with intent, for attacking pensioner Leslie Gunfield ten years ago, Ipswich Crown Court heard on Wednesday. On February 22 2015, Mr Gunfield, then 82, told Barclay, of no fixed address, that he would inform security about him going through rubbish bins at a Co-op supermarket in Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. Mr Gunfield was left with serious injuries to his head and required 10 titanium plates for fractures he suffered after being attacked by Barclay, the court heard. He was found with a dog lead wrapped around his foot, which the prosecution said was similar to the way Ms Rose's body was found, with a dog lead 'tightly' wrapped around her leg. Prosecutor Christopher Paxton KC said Mr Gunfield 'ended up with fracture upon fracture to his face', adding that the attack 'totally detached the upper jaw from the rest of the skull'. He told jurors that the conviction 'helps you in so many ways to identify Roy Barclay as Anita's killer'. Mr Paxton added: 'Leslie Gunfield was taken to the ground and attacked on the ground by Roy Barclay, just as Anita Rose was. Leslie Gunfield was struck repeatedly to the head, just as Anita Rose was. 'In his mid-40s, he (Barclay) fractured nearly all of the bones of an 82-year-old's face, having taken him to the ground in 2015. 'Anybody that attacks an 82-year-old man in that way displays a ruthlessness and callousness that defies logic.' His Honour Judge Martyn Levett told jurors that they should not convict Barclay based wholly or mainly on his previous conviction, adding that it was 'additional circumstantial evidence'. Barclay was released from prison for the attack on Mr Gunfield on February 24 2020. Mr Paxton said Barclay was a 'dog lover' who had volunteered at a dog charity while on probation, adding that a dog lead wrapped around a body could 'almost be described as a signature of Roy Barclay'. The prosecutor added: 'This is no coincidence. The wrapping of the dog lead is a further striking similarity that builds with all the evidence to Roy Barclay being the one and only person who attacked Anita Rose.' The prosecutor said Barclay was 'irrational and dangerous' and had been on the run from the police for two years while trying to avoid recall to prison. Giving his closing speech, Mr Paxton said: 'Two very different worlds collided: Anita, partner to Richard, a mother and grandmother, out with the family dog Bruce, before she went off to work. 'Her world collided with Roy Barclay's world, a desperate man on the run from police for two years, having been in prison for beating Leslie Gunfield's face to a pulp. 'Roy Barclay took Anita Rose's life in an explosion of violence. Blow after blow, stamp after stamp and kick after kick. 'Roy Barclay's determination to keep his liberty and save his skin is revealed in the brutality of the injuries he inflicted on Anita Rose. 'Slight and slim Roy Barclay might seem, but his force, his brutality, is revealed in what he did to Leslie Gunfield and Anita Rose.' The prosecutor said jurors had heard evidence that injuries to Anita's brain were similar to those inflicted by 'high speed car crashes'. Barclay opted to give no evidence in his defence on Wednesday. Mr Paxton said Barclay had maintained a 'wall of silence' throughout his trial. The prosecutor added: 'It is his right of course, but it is a choice Roy Barclay has made. 'He made a choice not to say one single word to the jury in his defence from the witness box.' The trial continues.

GMP better on grooming gangs as more than 1,000 suspects under investigation
A police force that had to apologise to victims over decades of failure over grooming gangs is now investigating more than 1,000 suspects, a watchdog has said. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has made 'significant improvements' in how it investigates group-based sexual exploitation of children, or grooming gangs, and other types of child sexual abuse offences, according to the report by His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS). The 76-page report looks at the current and ongoing way grooming gangs and other child sex offences are handled by the police, health bodies and the 10 councils in Greater Manchester. It said police have live investigations into 'multi-victim, multi-offender' child sexual exploitation inquiries, involving 714 victims and survivors, and 1,099 suspects. Michelle Skeer, His Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary, said: 'We found that since 2019, when Greater Manchester Police started to review its non-recent child sexual exploitation investigations, the force has improved its understanding and approach to investigating allegations of child criminal and sexual exploitation. 'It is clear that the force has, for many years, been trying to provide a better service to those who have or may have experienced sexual exploitation. 'But for some, trust and confidence in the police had been lost, and the force would not be able to rectify their experiences. 'It is vital that improvements are led by victims' experiences, and if they do come forward, they are supported, protected and taken seriously.' The report from inspectors found current Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson and other senior officers make sure all ranks understand child protection is a priority, it said, with he or deputy chief constables having personally spoken to every supervisor in the force about it. The report states: 'Officers told us that, due to a cultural shift in Greater Manchester Police, investigating child sexual exploitation is now considered 'everyone's business'.' Grooming gangs also 'feature heavily' in chief officer meetings, with performance monitored closely, the report said. GMP is the only force in the country to set up a dedicated team to investigate grooming gangs, which it did in 2021, now called the Child Sexual Exploitation Major Investigation Team (CSE MIT), with around 100 staff and a ring-fenced budget. The force also approaches child sexual exploitation as it does serious and organised crime gangs, using specialist tactics. In October 2024, the force told inspectors there were 59 live multi-victim multi-offender child sexual exploitation investigations, of which 13 were being managed by the CSE MIT. In these active investigations, there were 714 victims and survivors, and 1,099 suspects. The force has also recorded demographic data, such as the age, sex and ethnicity of potential victims and suspects and uses 'intelligence products' to produce 'problem profiles' to detail emerging threats and risks. A recent report by Baroness Casey found a significant over-representation of Asian men who are suspects in grooming gangs in Greater Manchester, adding though authorities are in 'denial' more needs to be done to understand why this is the case. Inspectors also said the force is aware of 'training gaps' in some investigation teams and that some victims had been let down in the way their case was handled. And the report also pointed to issues with data sharing, with local councils sometimes not willing to provide detectives with information, leading to 'significant delays in investigations' into grooming gangs. It cites problems with intelligence provided by Manchester City Council, which took months to arrive and 'was so heavily redacted that some pages contained only a few words,' the report said. Nevertheless, so far, the CSE MIT and the earlier grooming gang investigations have resulted in 42 convictions and more than 430 years imprisonment for offenders. Investigations are ongoing and several more trials are scheduled. The report adds: 'The force fully accepts that it made mistakes in the past. 'It has taken positive and effective steps to learn from these mistakes and improve how it investigates recent and non-recent child sexual exploitation.' Responding to the report, Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said: 'I am confident in my view that the Greater Manchester system is in a demonstrably different and far stronger place today than it was when the failings happened. 'The effect of the assurance review I commissioned has been to usher in widespread culture change across all GM bodies. Never again will any child here be labelled or dismissed when they come forward to report concerns.' Mr Burnham said he felt 'vindicated' by the Government's decision to launch a national inquiry into grooming gangs, following an independent review by Baroness Louise Casey. 'Because of the inevitable limitations of a local review like this, I was an early supporter of a national inquiry to bring accountability of decision-makers and Baroness Casey herself has said that there would not be a national inquiry were it not for the Greater Manchester review,' he said. 'We can feel vindicated by that. 'Now the national inquiry is being put in place, we must allow victims the space and the right climate to have their voices heard, allow the actual truth to be established and accountability delivered.'

Two teenagers charged with murder after ‘loving father' stabbed
Two teenage boys have been charged with the murder of a 'loving father' who was stabbed in south Wales, police have said. Married father-of-one Kamran Aman died in Barry Road, Barry, just before midnight on Monday, South Wales Police said. The force had attended the scene following reports that a stabbing had taken place. Two boys aged 16 and 17, both from Llantwit Major, were charged with his murder on Wednesday. The teenagers, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are due to appear at Cardiff Magistrates' Court on Thursday. Mr Aman's family released a tribute on Wednesday evening in which they said: 'It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we mourn the tragic loss of Kamran. 'A devoted husband, a loving father, a cherished son, brother, uncle and loyal friend, Kamran was the heart of his family and loved within his community. 'Known for his generous spirit and kind heart, Kamran brought warmth and strength to everyone he met. 'His absence leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew him. 'As we grieve this unimaginable loss, we also honour and celebrate the life he lived and the impact he made. 'May his memory be a blessing.' Detective Superintendent Mark O'Shea, from the Major Crime Investigation Team, said the force was not looking for anyone else in connection with Mr Aman's death. He added: 'Our thoughts are with Kamran's family and friends, as they have been since the tragic events of Monday night. 'We would very much like to thank the community for the support and information that has already been provided. 'We are aware that the road closures and police cordons, which have now been lifted, had a significant impact on the local community.'
