Birmingham Coventry Road shooting: Man injured as gun shots fired from a car in Yardley

Police are appealing for witnesses after a man was injured when shots were fired at a car in Birmingham on Saturday (January 20).

The victim, in his 30s, remains in hospital today (Monday, January 22) with injuries which are not life-threatening. The incident came shortly after 6pm in Coventry Road, South Yardley and investigators have been carrying out door-to-door enquiries and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area.

A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: “We're also asking anyone we've not yet spoken with to get in contact. Or if you were driving in Coventry Road, Heybarnes Road or Hob Moor Road between about 5.45pm and 6.15pm, we'd ask you take a look at dashcam footage, as it may hold vital information to assist with enquiries.

“We understand such incidents can be upsetting and unsettling and our neighbourhood teams are continuing to carry out extra patrols in the area to offer reassurance. Investigators have set up a special online portal for anyone to send over information or dashcam to us via the MIPP at Public Portal (mipp.police.uk).”
