Gunman jailed for life after Nuneaton shootingPolice have released the mugshot of the gunman found guilty of attempted murder following a shooting in Nuneaton.
Sami Alshalaly was found guilty and then sentenced to jail for life with a minimum of 17 years following a trial at Warwick Crown Court.
Police were called to Bull Street in the Attleborough area of Nuneaton at around 3am on June 29 following a report of a shooting.
A man in his late twenties was taken to hospital by ambulance where he later recovered after life-saving surgery.
During the trial, the court heard how Alshalaly, 22, of Shawbury Grove, Birmingham, was part of a group who operated a county-lines drug supply operation bringing drugs into Nuneaton.
He enforced his will on those that either stood in his way or owed him a debt.
Leaei Tallis-Farndon, 27, of Marston Lane, Nuneaton (but formerly of The Green, Attleborough), also appeared at Warwick Crown Court where she was found guilty of causing grevious bodily harm and perverting the course of justice.
Tallis-Farndon became involved with Alshalaly after her relationship with the victim came to an end, and on the night of the incident, told Alshalaly where the victim would be, knowing that he would cause the victim harm.
She then gave a false statement to police once the shooting had taken place.
Alshalaly was found guilty of attempted murder and possessing a firearm with intent to carry out an indictable offence in relation to the incident on 29 June, and possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life in relation to a separate incident in Nuneaton in June 2018.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of 17 years, for the attempted murder and seven years to run concurrently for the firearms offences.
Tallis-Farndon was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm in relation to the shooting incident and subsequently perverting the course of justice.
She was sentenced to four years for the planned assault with a further two years for perverting the course of justice, to run consecutively.
A third man who was charged with attempted murder was found not guilty.
