Luke Lovell was convicted of murder, Gordon Blue Smith was found guilty of manslaughter and Christopher Stubbs admitted murder
Two men have been given life terms for murdering another man who they shot.
Lee Pettite, 22, was found in Oakley Walk, Eston, Teesside, on 1 March, having staggered a short way.
Christopher Stubbs, 21, from South Bank, who had earlier admitted the "targeted and planned" murder, was sentenced at Teesside Crown Court to a minimum of 24 years in prison.
Luke Lovell, 22, of Wilton Way, who was convicted of murder, was told he must serve a minimum of 25 years in jail.
Gordon Blue Smith, 23, who was cleared of murder, but convicted of manslaughter, was sentenced to 12 years.
During a three-week trial, the court was told Mr Pettite was shot in the back by Stubbs after being chased by the three men in a "targeted and planned attack."
The Crown said Lovell and Smith were accomplices, assisting or encouraging Stubbs.
Lee Pettite was taken to James Cook University Hospital where he later died
Paramedics tried to save Mr Pettite, but he died later from chest wounds at Middlesbrough's James Cook University Hospital.
Lee Pettite's mother, Vanessa Prest, said his death had "totally destroyed" the family.
"I feel angry that he has been taken from us and I feel robbed of my chance to say goodbye - that is why there is no closure for me and the rest of my family," she said.
"I just can't see how I'll ever get over my son's death."
Cleveland Police said the Bankfields community in Eston had been "horrified by the violent murder of Lee Pettite in a park in broad daylight".
The incident was isolated and unusual for the area, a spokesman said.
