One man remains in custody following a fatal shooting in Walsall on Monday.

Three people were arrested after Connor Brookes, 20, was shot dead on Well Lane at around 5pm on Monday. Detectives were given extra time to question them and have been granted even more time to question a 22-year-old man.

He'll remain in police custody until tomorrow morning.

A 17- and 18-year-old have been bailed with strict conditions, which means they must reside outside of the West Midlands. They must also stay outside of Walsall while police continue their investigation.

West Midlands Police said: "We're leaving no stone unturned as we seek to establish the full circumstances around what led to the tragic death of Connor - and we continue to support his loved ones at this deeply distressing time.

"We know how upsetting this has been for the community and we remain keen to hear from anyone with information about the fatal shooting which happened at around 5pm.

"You can contact us via 101, or by Live Chat on our website, quoting log 3637 of 8/7/24.

"If you want to leave information anonymously you can also contact Crimestoppers the independent charity on 0800 555 111."
