A 19-year-old man died after being targeted in a drive-by shooting involving a car that was found afterwards burned out in Coventry.
Two people were arrested, including a 15-year-old boy, on suspicion of murder, after the man died in hospital.
The shots were fired from a black VW Golf R found burned out nearby.
During morning raids earlier, a 19-year-old man was also detained in connection with the man’s death.
Police said a post-mortem examination was due to take place later.
The victim was shot as he walked along Harnall Lane and into Adelaide Street in Hillfields at about 14:30 GMT, officers said.
The Police said in a statement:
The gunshots were fired from a black VW Golf R, with light coloured or silver wing mirrors and five spoke alloy wheels.
It is abhorrent that these people think nothing of using a firearm in broad daylight on a residential street with a children’s nursery close by.
It is vital that anyone who saw what happened yesterday afternoon, and has not already spoken to us, does so.
The officer also urged those responsible for setting the car on fire to come forward.
My team are determined to bring to justice anyone involved in yesterday’s violence.
