A man has been shot dead in an attempted robbery at a warehouse.
Masked men raided the premises at Direct Source 3 Ltd in Digbeth, central Birmingham, at 18:40 GMT on Wednesday.
Company director Akhtar Javeed, 56, was found in the road outside his drinks delivery firm's warehouse and pronounced dead in hospital.
West Midlands Police believe two men were involved in the raid in Rea Street South and said the warehouse was specifically "targeted".
Police said they did not yet know what type of a firearm was used.
Fingertip searches and forensic testing have been taking place at the scene.
The force declined to confirm whether anything was taken during the attempted robbery.
Detectives also refused to comment on claims Mr Javeed may have followed the raiders out of the building before being gunned Down.
