'I saw a glimpse of a red car, next thing I knew I was on the ground' Exclusive with Birmingham drive-by shooting survivor

Rakeem Omar

Available for over a year

Exclusive interview with one of the survivors from tragic shooting in Birmingham. It's 20 years since two teenage girls were killed as they stood outside a New Years party. Seventeen-year-old Letisha Shakespeare and Charlene Ellis, who was eighteen, were innocent victims of a drive-by shooting - as two rival gangs in the city fought out a turf war. Charlene's twin sister Sophie and their cousin Cheryl Shaw were also shot and injured - but they survived. And for the first time - we can hear from Sophie Ellis.
