A 17-year-old youth has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was fatally shot.

Jermaine Smith, 30, was shot in Lilleshall Crescent, Wolverhampton, in the early hours of 25 October. He died at the scene.

The teenager was detained along with a 40-year-old woman and two men, aged 18 and 41 who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, when West Midlands Police stopped a car on Stafford Road in the city on Sunday morning.

Four people arrested previously on suspicion of murder, two men aged 18 and one aged 19 and a girl aged 16, have been released on bail with strict conditions as the investigation continues, West Midlands Police said.

The three people arrested on Sunday have since also been released on with strict conditions as inquiries continue, the force added. The 17-year-old remains in custody.

Police are continuing to appeal for information.
