Mr Sabir was 'specifically targeted'

Mohammed Sabir, 22, was shot from behind in Lozells Road, in Handsworth, at 2240 BST on Monday.

The murder is one of five committed within a half-mile radius since last September.

Mr Sabir, who was married with two children, was seen talking to three youths outside Aziz Pizza and Kebab shop, in Lozells Road, when he was shot.

The attacker ran off in the direction of Wilton Street.

On Tuesday, it emerged that the shooting could have been caught on cameras recently installed in the area.

It is the fifth murder in the area since last September

The CCTV operator, who did not want to identified, said: "One of the cameras is on the chip shop, which is right where the shooting took place.

"We're going to pull the tape and see if we can get some footage."

Superintendent Andrew Nicholson told the BBC's Midlands Today programme: "This was... not a random attack, other people aren't in danger.

"He was specifically targeted. Why he was targeted at this stage it is too early to tell."

Police have refused to comment on allegations made by people living in the area that Mr Sabir was a drug dealer.

His attacker is described as mixed race, 6ft tall, aged in his late 20s and wearing a red jacket.

Officers are appealing for witnesses to the shooting to come forward.
