POLICE investigating the shooting of a teenager in Bell Green are tracing a black Audi in connection to the attack.
The 16-year-old victim, was shot in Proffitt Avenue at around 10.30pm on Tuesday September 1.
He had been walking down the street with two friends when he was shot in the neck and was rushed to University Hospital, in Walsgrave, where he remains in a serious but stable condition.
Officers investigating the case believe the victim was shot by someone inside a moving car and a tracing a black Audi.
Detective Inspector Nigel Harrison, of Stoney Stanton Road police station, said: “We’ve interviewed the three lads but we are no closer to finding out who did this.
“It appears the defendants were in a black Audi and shot from that. There is a lot of speculation in the area about what happened but nothing can yet be substantiated. There are a number of theories but we cannot speculate.”
He also said that Tom was no longer in a critical condition and would hopefully make a full recovery. But the teenager was still in pain and is likely to be left scarred by the attack.
Police had cordoned off Proffitt Avenue during the tail-end of last week as officers carried out door-to-door inquiries and tried to uncover evidence.
Anyone who witnessed the shooting or who has any information about what happened should contact CID at Stoney Stanton Road police station on 0845 113 5000 or anonymously on Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
