A Birmingham gang who hatched a brutal plan which saw a dad gunned down on his doorstep have been locked up for more than 65 years.
Nadeem Khan had just returned from the morning school run and was sitting inside a BMW parked on his driveway when a masked gunman started shooting towards him.
The shooter opened fire from the rear passenger seat of a Toyota C-HR which had pulled up outside Mr Khan’s home in Charles Foster Street, Darlaston.
Initial shots from the double-barrelled shotgun shattered the windows of Mr Khan’s BMW.
The gunman then left the Toyota, reloaded and continued to fire at the victim before fleeing the scene with his accomplices.

Mr Khan, who had been on the phone while inside the BMW, could be heard in CCTV footage as he shouted “I’m dead” and “phone the police, I’ve been shot”.
Blood could also be seen splattered across his car, on the ground and on a wall of his home.
The dad, who is in his 40s, was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham with wounds to his face, hands, shoulders and buttocks, while gunshot pellets were ’embedded’ into his body, but survived the attack.

Five men – none of which were the gunman – admitted conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm with intent and conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life on the second day of their trial last July.
They were today (Monday, January 12) sentenced for their part in the shooting.
- Shamus Hussain, 27, of Floyer Road, Small Heath, was jailed for 12 years and seven months
- Mohammed Ishtiaq, 23, of Oldknow Road, Small Heath, was jailed for 12 years and seven months
- Abdullah Amjad, 23, of Allens Avenue, Winson Green, was jailed for 13 years and six months
- Samir Khan, 19, of East Holme, Bordesley Green, was detained for 13 years and six months in a young offender institution
- Dilawar Khan, 20, of Mansel Road, Small Heath, was detained for 13 years and six months in a young offender institution
In an earlier court hearing, prosecutor Darren Whitehead said the motive of the shooting ‘remains unknown’ and the shotgun has not been found.
Events began to unfold two days before the shooting when a ‘reconnaissance’ trip was carried out on October 9, 2024.
The next day, the gang travelled from Birmingham to Darlaston in order to carry out their plans but they were ‘late’ and missed their target.

Mr Whitehead said: “Their target had already gone inside his home and so the opportunity to shoot him and therefore carry out their plan had been missed.
“The mission that day appears to have been called off.”
Mr Khan was then shot outside his home the following day on October 11.
