Three men have been convicted following a shooting incident in Solihull that left a 23-year-old man seriously injured on 25 January last year. The attack occurred at around 11pm on Oak Croft, triggering an extensive investigation by West Midlands Police.
The victim was shot in the arm during an attempted robbery. He was immediately taken to hospital with serious injuries but survived the attack.
West Midlands Police’s Major Crime Unit led the investigation, using CCTV footage and witness statements to identify and arrest three suspects responsible for the violent assault.
J’Jay Lawlor, 19, of Stratford Road, Solihull, was found guilty of wounding, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, attempted robbery, possession of an offensive weapon, and possession of Class A drugs with intent to supply.
James Sheriff, 47, of Masons Way, Solihull, was convicted of wounding, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and attempted robbery.
Carl Gamble, 29, with no fixed address, was found guilty of wounding, possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, and attempted robbery.
All three men are scheduled to be sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court in July, as the local community awaits justice for the violent Solihull shooting.
