CCTV footage has revealed the moment Joshua White, 29, sent a six-year-old girl in pink roller skates flying as he fled from masked attackers.
Three gangsters have been convicted of hunting a man and stabbing him to death with knives and a Zombie sword in front of a terrified child.
Mr White was seen to pause to check on the girl before attempting to take refuge inside a shop in Hackney, north-east London.
But Theo Momodu, 18, and Taylar Isaac, 20, closed in on him with David Kerrigan, 20, close behind.
Momodu then stabbed Mr White three times in the back with a 2ft-long red-tinted Zombie sword.
Minutes later, the three alleged young Stokey16 gang members targeted a second man who survived.
It was claimed they carried out the “carefully thought-through expedition” after Momodu received a text message from a senior gang member.
Following an Old Bailey trial, Isaac and Kerrigan were found guilty of murder, a charge which Momodu had admitted to.
All three men from Hackney, north-east London, were also convicted of wounding the second victim with intent.
A fourth defendant, Harley McGivern, 20, also from Hackney, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice.
The six-year-old girl, who was unhurt in the incident, had been waiting for her father inside the shop during the time of the attack.
The jury deliberated for less than a day to reach unanimous verdicts.
Sentencing was adjourned until April 23.
