Agnes Sina-Inakoju, 16, of St Brelades Court on De Beauvoir Estate, was shot in the neck with a submachine gun as she stood in Hoxton Chicken and Pizza on 14 April last year. The Haggerston School pupil died two days later at the Royal London Hospital.
Footage from two cameras show Agnes chatting to friends while they wait for food at the takeaway.
At 7.12pm, one of her friends can be seen ducking, moments before two young men on bicycles ride past and fire a single shot through the window of the takeaway.
Family and friends in the public gallery wept as they watched Agnes, onscreen, slump to the floor, roll over and clutch her neck.
Leon Dunkley, 22, of Kenninghall Road, Lower Clapton, and Mohammed Smoured, 21, of Hopwood Walk, London Fields deny murder and firearm charges.
Two youths, 16 and 17, who cannot be named because of legal reasons, also deny firearms charges and assisting an offender.
All four are believed to be members of the London Fields Gang.
Prosecutor Simon Denison QC said: “It was as callous and cold-blooded as it could be, carried out in broad daylight in a busy street in Hoxton.”
Mr Dunkley was identified by witnesses as the gunman, while Mr Smoured, who was not identified, is said to have acted as a lookout. Evidence against Mr Smoured relies on links to the London Fields Gang.
The intended target was believed by locals to have been a member of rival gang, the Hoxton Boys, in retaliation for a street fight days earlier.
The prosecution gave evidence of several photographs showing Mr Smoured posing by a graveyard, making an inverted L with this hand – a sign of the London Fields gang.
Pictures recovered from his mobile phone and Facebook, show Mr Smoured wearing clothing emblazoned with the gang’s logos “LF” and “E9”, and words such as “terror”. Others were of a diamond encrusted gun and bullet.
Simon Denison QC also said that Mr Smoured was overheard boasting that Agnes had “dropped like a stone”.
Mr Smoured told police on his arrest that he had only known Mr Dunkley as someone who lives in his area. But a picture from his mobile phone shows the two posing with arms over each other’s shoulders.
The trial is likely to last six weeks.
