Man jailed after shots fired at trio fleeing car
A man has been jailed for more than eight years for his part in a Birmingham shooting in which three men were targeted as they fled their rammed car. Kasim Ali was one of four men in a Mitsubishi Shogun which rammed a black VW Golf into another car on Trinity Road, Aston, during the evening of 2 October. Three men inside the Golf fled on foot towards Birchfield Road while another man from the Shogun fired at them. Ali, 24, from the Handsworth area of the city, was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on Tuesday after admitting possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life at an earlier hearing. West Midlands Police said the area was particularly busy at the time of the shooting due to fans leaving Aston Villa's Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich. Ali used the handle of a so-called Rambo knife to smash the Golf's windscreen, the force said. For that act, Ali also pleaded guilty to possession of a bladed article and received 12 months' imprisonment concurrent to his sentence of eight years and four months for his firearms offence. Police said Ali fled the country shortly after the shooting, but forensic tests linked him to the scene and he was arrested when he returned to the UK. The motive for the attack remained unknown and inquiries continued to identify the other occupants of the Shogun, including the gunman, police stated.

Thug jailed for driving over man's head after birthday celebrations
A thug who murdered a loving family man by crushing his head under a car has been jailed for 17 years. Hove Crown Court was packed with the friends and family of Jack Field who had come to watch his killer Kyle Dumble be sentenced. Dumble drove into the 24-year-old as he walked home from birthday celebrations in Hailsham on November 18, 2023, knocking him to the ground. A fight had broken out between Mr Field's group of friends and Dumble's friend Jimmy Stonestreet. The trial heard the 27-year-old reversed the Mitsubishi Shogun over Mr Field's head causing 'catastrophic injuries'. Experts rejected Dumble's claim a faulty automatic gearbox caused the Shogun to slip into reverse. Jack Field (Image: Sussex Police) During sentencing today, Judge Jeremy Gold said Dumble's actions were 'an act of revenge'. Dumble, of no fixed address, was found guilty last week of murder, attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and driving while disqualified and without insurance. The jury returned a majority verdict by ten to two on murder after almost 16 hours. During today's sentencing, in mitigation, Alan Kent KC said Dumble did not start the fight 'nor did he go out looking for trouble', although he 'could have driven off' from the confrontation. He said Dumble was suffering from depression at the time and has been diagnosed with ADHD and learning disabilities. He added Dumble has anger management issues and showed 'genuine remorse' at his actions. 'He has two young children,' said Mr Kent of his client. 'They will grow up without their father. 'Life in prison will be difficult for Kyle Dumble and his family. 'Of course that is a consequence of his actions on that night.' Dumble was sentenced to life in prison and must serve a minimum of 17 years for the murder of Mr Field, less the 431 days he had already spent in custody. He was also given a concurrent six years in prison for attempted grievous bodily harm and a concurrent six months for driving while disqualified. He will be disqualified from driving for ten years. For the charge of driving without insurance he was ordered to pay £500 or one day's imprisonment. Police at the scene of the incident (Image: Sussex News and Pictures) Judge Gold said he could not be sure that Dumble's intention was to kill Jack Field as 'he may not have been aware that Jack had been knocked down so close to the wheels of the Shogun'. 'I therefore deal with the case on the basis that his intention was to cause really serious injury to members of Jack Field's group,' he said. Judge Gold said Dumble's actions could 'not be described as premeditated' but were, in his judgement, 'an act of revenge against the group for what had just occurred'. 'Kyle Dumble was driving the Shogun,' he said. 'He should not have been. 'He was a disqualified driver. 'All he had to do to avoid the risk of further confrontation was drive away but he decided instead to use the car as a weapon and drive it towards Jack's group. 'I am satisfied that he did that at least once before embarking on the reversing manoeuvre that caused Jack's death.' The judge said Mr Field was 'clearly a very special young man'. 'Jack was in full time work at the time of his death,' he said. 'No doubt with many aspirations for the future. 'He has been variously described as loving, caring, loyal, dependable and considerate.'
