A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a 21-year-old who was shot dead in Kilburn High Road.
Yasir Beshira was shot in the stomach as he walked along the street last Thursday at around 5.20pm.
Mr Beshira managed to cross the road before collapsing at the junction of Netherwood Street. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The gunman, who was alone and wearing a hooded top and jeans, fled the scene on foot in the direction of Palmerston Road towards the Webheath Estate.
On Saturday, a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of Mr Beshira’s murder. He is currently in police custody.
Detectives have also launched a hunt to find a key suspect in the case, described as a slim white male who covered half of his face with a dark hooded top.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Partridge said: “I believe this person was loitering in and around Palmerston Road and the Webheath Estate prior to the attack. It is my view that this suspect would have stood out hanging around at this location and certainly when he fled through the estate following the attack.”
