A West Midlands Police spokesperson said on October 11: “Two shots were fired by the driver of a black Vauxhall Mokka, at the junction of West Bromwich High Street and Trinity Way, towards a white VW Golf which was waiting to turn right.
“The first shot missed, but the second shattered the rear windscreen of the Golf.
“The victim, in his 20s, sped away from the scene and arrived at the Midland Met Hospital a short time later.
“He was left with shotgun injuries to his shoulder and the back of his head but survived the attack.
The A4301 Trinity Way was closed following the shooting at around 11.35am on May 1
“Our Major Crime Unit (MCU) officers trawled through hours of CCTV to identify the suspects, and the cars involved as they travelled in the build-up to and the aftermath of the shooting.
“We established that Adyan Hussain, aged 22, had been driving the Mokka and had fired the shots at the Golf.
“Around 30 minutes before the attack, he had been dropped off on Leopard Lane, West Bromwich, in a different car by a man called Naveed Hussain.
“Adyan Hussain drove off in the Mokka and changed its number plates just before the attack, which happened at around 11.30am on 1 May this year.
“After the attack, Adyan Hussain abandoned the car in Oldbury. Both men collected it the following day and changed its plates for a second time.

“At Wolverhampton Crown Court on Monday (6 October), Adyan Hussain, of Salisbury Road, West Bromwich, admitted possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, while Naveed Hussain, also 22, of Ida Road, West Bromwich, admitted assisting an offender.
“They will be sentenced on 20 October. “
Det Insp Francis Nock, from West Midlands Police’s MCU Reactive Team, said: “This was a violent attack on a busy High Street, which left a man seriously injured and could easily have killed him.
“We have not been able to establish a motive for this attack, and it’s worrying that those involved felt they could use such violence on the streets of the West Midlands.
“Thankfully, the determination of investigators to bring them to justice has paid off.
“Guns have no place on the streets of the West Midlands, and our detectives and firearms officers work closely with local policing officers to build a picture of those involved in gun crime so that we can take them off the streets and put them behind bars.”
