A murder investigation has been launched after a double shooting in Birmingham left one man dead and another one injured.
West Midlands Police were called to Rotton Park Road in Edgbaston before 11 pm on November 22 after reports that two men had been shot.
A man in his 30s was found injured at a bus stop before being taken to hospital and is currently in critical condition. The second man, who is reported to be in his 20s, was found in a car and pronounced dead at the scene.
Firearm officers arrested a man in his 30s on suspicion of murder near Waterloo Road just before 12.30 am. The man remains in custody.
Detective Inspector Nick Barnes, from the homicide team, said: “This is a tragic incident, and we have worked through the night to understand exactly what happened.
“We’ve already made good progress and arrested a suspect, but I still need to hear from anyone who was in the area that we’ve not already spoken to.
“This happened near the busy junction with City Road and it may be that you’ve got dashcam footage or mobile footage from the area just before 11 pm.
“We really need to hear from you so that we can build as clear a picture as possible of what happened.”
Officers remained at the crime scene today with road closures in place.
West Midlands Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them via 101 or Live Chat quoting log 5228 of 22 November.
