Shop worker dies after shooting | |
(1 day later) | |
A gunman walked into a shop and shot dead a 24-year-old worker in the latest violent attack in Birmingham. | |
Police said they were not ruling out linking Wednesday evening's shooting at a convenience store in Villa Road, Lozells, to others in the area. | |
Mohammed Busharat died after one shot was fired by the gunman, who may have been accompanied by another male. | |
It is thought he is the younger brother of Mohammed Sabir who was shot dead on Lozells Road in 2003. | |
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said they are open to any motive and now studying CCTV footage. | |
Mr Busharat was pronounced dead in hospital. | |
Police cordoned off the scene after being called at about 2040 GMT and are carrying out house-to-house inquiries. | |
The incident follows the death of Meshack Tesfa Bernard-Brown, who was shot dead on 13 November in nearby Newtown. | |
There have also been a number of other violent incidents in the Newtown and Lozells area during this month. |
