Detectives have launched a murder investigation after a man died at a Birmingham hospital this morning.

Two men who had been shot made their own way to Heartlands Hospital shortly after midnight.

Sadly, a 30-year-old died a short time later.

The second man, aged 24, remains in hospital but his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

Our investigations are in the very early stages, but police believe the men were in a car on Eversley Road, Small Heath, when they were shot.

Police remain on Eversley Road and the car park of Heartlands hospital while officers conduct forensic examination of the areas. Police are also speaking to witnesses and reviewing CCTV. Police also have officers carrying out enquiries on Millthorpe Close as part of the investigation.

The family of the man are being supported by specialist officers at this sad time.

There will be an increase in police presence around the area in coming days. Officers will be offering reassurance, so please talk to them if you have any concerns.
