A Man Who Played A Key Role In Co-ordinating The Drive-by Shooting Of A Fatherfour Who Then Tragically Died Has Been Convicted Of Manslaughter
. Akeel Hussain helped arrange the carefully planned attack on Mohammed Haroon Zeb as part of an ongoing feud between families. Mr Zeb, who was known as Haroon, was shot in the head outside his home in Queens Cross during the early hours of 31 January 2021. The 39-year-old taxi firm manager was rushed to hospital but sadly died later the same day. We examined a range of evidence including phone records and social media as we identified Hussain – who was injured himself after being struck by a car less than a fortnight earlier – as playing a prominent role in planning the shooting. Two other men who were in the Volkswagen Golf from which the fatal gunshot was fired were convicted of the murder of Mr Zeb earlier this year and jailed for 60 years. Following a trial at Wolverhampton Crown Court which concluded yesterday (14 November), Hussain, aged 23 from Dudley, was found guilty of manslaughter. Hussain, who is currently in custody after recently being convicted of separate offences of violent disorder and possession with intent to supply, will be sentenced on 1 December. Mohammed Rafiq, 22, also of Dudley, was involved in helping to conceal the Golf – which was on false plates – and later recovered in Telford. He was convicted of attempting to pervert the course of justice and will be sentenced the same day.
