Tributes have been paid to a 'kind-hearted father' as police continue to appeal for information about his fatal shooting in Birmingham.

Mohammed Kasim died at Heartlands Hospital during the early hours of Thursday (7 July).

The 30-year-old had made his own way to the hospital shortly after midnight with gun shot injuries along with another man. He remains in hospital but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

In a statement Mr Kasim's family said: "A kind hearted, selfless, caring person. An amazing dad, son and brother who will be missed so dearly."

Police believe both men were in a car on Eversley Road, Small Heath, when they were shot late on Wednesday evening.

Officers have been carrying out CCTV and other enquiries in the area to establish who was responsible.

A vehicle which was potentially involved was identified and found abandoned in Millthorpe Close, Washwood Heath.

Further enquiries around the blue Ford Ecosport - which was on false plates - are ongoing.

We'd urge anyone who was in the area at the time, and may have dash cam footage, to contact us. We're keen to hear from anyone with information who can help us find who killed Mr Kasim.
