TRAGIC TRADE NEWS THREE MEN CHARGED WITH MURDER OF
DUDLEY TAXI FIRM OWNER MOHAMMED HAROON ZEB
A third man has been charged as police continue to investigate the fatal shooting of the boss of Midlands Taxis, Mohammed Haroon Zeb. Known as Haroon, the victim was shot outside his home in Queens Cross in Dudley. He was rushed to hospital in a critical condition in the early hours of January 31 but died later that day. A post-mortem examination showed the 39-year-old died as a result of a gun- shot wound.
Choudhary Naheim Rashid, 47, from Dudley, has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder and appeared before Wolverhampton Magistrates’ Court on February 25 after being arrested the day before. A 21-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of murder on February 25 and remained in police custody for
questioning. He was the tenth person detained in connection with the investi- gation. Police have
previously charged a 23-year-old man with murder and a 25-year-old in con- nection with the shooting. Tributes have been paid to Haroon from across the community, with mosque leaders posting their condo- lences and prayers. Shaz Saleem confirmed the tragic news on Facebook, saying: “With unbelievable sadness I’m having to inform you of the passing away of my cousin Haroon Zeb, son of Chaudary Mohammad Aurangzeb (chairman Dudley Central Mosque).
“This man was loved by all, once you met him you never forgot him, he was guaranteed to make you smile, but today it’s not just my family that mourns, thousands feel our pain.” Specialist police officers have been supporting the family. Shaz told the Stourbridge News: “It’s difficult to make any sense of why it happened. It’s just absolutely heart- breaking. I really hope the police do everything they can.” He said he was shocked to think of gun violence on the streets of Dudley. DCI Jim Munro, from the homicide team, said: “Haroon’s death is tragic, my thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.” PHTM extends our condolences to the family, friends and collegues of Mr Zeb at this very sad time.
