Man arrested arrested on suspicion of the murder of Mohammed Kasim
Kasim was shot in Birmingham in July
A man aged 20 has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a 'kind-hearted father', who was shot dead in Birmingham in July.
Mohammed Kasim, 30, was in a car on Eversley Road, Small Heath, when he and another man were shot.
The pair made their way to hospital, but Mr Kasim died a short time later.
The second man suffered injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening in the shooting, which happened just after midnight on 7 July.
Police say they have been carrying out CCTV and other enquiries in the area as they seek to establish who was responsible.
Today one man was arrested in the Saltley area and a number of other addresses around the city have been searched.
The suspect remains in custody today for questioning, and Mr Kasim’s family have been informed as officers continue to support them.
A blue Ford Ecosport on false plates was found abandoned in Millthorpe Close, Washwood Heath less than an hour after the shooting and police believe it may have been linked to the shooting.
They are urging anyone who was in the area at the time, and may have dash cam footage to contact them and say they are keen to hear from anyone with information who can help us find who killed Mr Kasim.
Anyone with information is urged to get in touch by calling 101 or via Live Chat.
In a statement after the murder, Mr Kasim's family said: "A kind hearted, selfless, caring person. An amazing dad, son and brother who will be missed so dearly."
