“We know this happened close to a school, and we have met with members of the local community to discuss their concerns and offer them reassurance,” West Midlands Police said.

Det Insp Michelle Cordell added that the investigation into what happened was ongoing.

“Our thoughts remain with Mr Alshmari’s family as we carry out our inquiries.

“We are grateful to the public for their response following this incident, and we understand the concern it has caused.

“Footage shared with us has been helpful to the investigation, and we are urging anyone who has not yet been in touch to please do so.”

Extra officers remained in the area, she said, and anyone anyone with information was urged to contact the force.
