In a case that has brought to light the harrowing consequences of gang violence, three men have been sentenced to a total of 69 years in prison for their roles in a drive-by shooting near a playground in Wolverhampton. Kian Durnin, 22, Martinho De-Sousa, 24, and Tireq McIntosh, 23, each received 23-year sentences for attempted murder following a trial earlier this month.
The shocking incident, which occurred on 1 May 2023, resulted in two children, an 11-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, suffering gunshot wounds. The playground, located near Shelley Road, was caught in the crossfire of what West Midlands Police believe to have been a violent feud between two rival gangs.
