Mohammed Maneer Khan is accused of shooting two men in the head after they damaged his parked car in Wolverhampton.

Mohammed Maneer Khan, 39, is accused of shooting two men in the head after they damaged his parked car in Wolverhampton. Khan denies two counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.

According to prosecutors, Duaine Mills and Syed Zain Ali, along with a third man named Sahil Idrees, drove a silver Audi A4 into Harrow Street early on 19 September 2025 and attacked and damaged Khan's black Audi RS6 parked nearby. The pair were attempting to drive away from the scene when Khan allegedly opened fire in the street.

Prosecutor Michael Burrows KC told Wolverhampton Crown Court that Khan fired eight shots at the men. CCTV footage captured the moment the gunman opened fire in Whitmore Reans, with the silver Audi A4 crashing into a parked van as the two men were fatally wounded near Leicester Street and Harrow Street.

Mills was pronounced dead at the scene. Ali's life support was switched off in hospital days later. The shooting occurred shortly after 3am while families were inside their homes nearby.

Following the incident, Khan is said to have changed his appearance and attempted to obtain a fake passport to flee the UK. The case opened at Wolverhampton Crown Court on Thursday, 22 October.
