It's been revealed that the victim of a shooting in West Bromwich

:00:09.:00:13.

earlier this week had previously been jailed for a hit-and-run

:00:14.:00:17.

accident which resulted in the death of a 91-year-old man.

:00:18.:00:20.

Carl Campbell was sent to prison in 2009 after the crash in Tipton.

:00:21.:00:23.

On Tuesday, he was shot dead in West Bromwich.

:00:24.:00:25.

Two men have appeared before Dudley magistrates.

:00:26.:00:27.

This is Carl Campell eight years ago.

:00:28.:00:33.

On Tuesday afternoon, he was killed in this car

:00:34.:00:35.

after suffering a gunshot wound to his head.

:00:36.:00:38.

The shooting took place on this busy road in West Bromwich.

:00:39.:00:41.

33-year-old Carl Campbell was a passenger in the car,

:00:42.:00:45.

which was stationary at the junction of High Street and Dartmouth Street.

:00:46.:00:49.

This morning, two men charged with murder have appeared

:00:50.:00:52.

19-year-old Mohammed Humza and 24-year-old Vikesh Chauhan stood

:00:53.:00:57.

in the dock, confirming they had no fixed abode.

:00:58.:01:02.

They'll appear at Wolverhampton Crown Court tomorrow.

:01:03.:01:11.

Police believe an Audi Q5 recovered nearby may have been

:01:12.:01:14.

Detectives are continuing to appeal for anyone in the area around

:01:15.:01:30.

West Bromwich high street and Dartmouth St just after 2:30

:01:31.:01:32.

Police want to track down two people seen moving traffic cones

:01:33.:01:36.

We've speeded up the footage slightly to show

:01:37.:01:40.

The two people, one walking a dog, move the cones so that traffic can

:01:41.:01:44.

go down both lanes of the road near the British Motor

:01:45.:01:47.

The police say their actions would have put both road-workers

:01:48.:01:50.

A five-year-old boy, who was given part of his father's liver,

:01:51.:01:54.

says he feels "super better" nine months after the operation.

:01:55.:01:56.

Harry McKecken, from Shrewsbury, was born with a rare liver disease.

:01:57.:01:59.

The liver's the only internal organ that can regenerate.

:02:00.:02:01.

Tim Muffett's been to Shropshire to see how the family are getting on.

:02:02.:02:09.

For the family, 2016 was life changing.

:02:10.:02:12.

With no other donor available, Simon donated part of his

:02:13.:02:30.

He has a condition that is a blockage of the

:02:31.:02:34.

We have so many locations where Harry would go to

:02:35.:02:37.

bed at night fit and healthy and six o'clock in the morning he would wake

:02:38.:02:40.

up with a roaring temperature, vomiting and we'd end up in hospital

:02:41.:02:43.

2016, what a year this has been for you.

:02:44.:02:47.

It took a while to recover from the surgery, it

:02:48.:02:58.

took him a lot quicker to recover than I did.

:02:59.:03:01.

What can you do now you couldn't do before?

:03:02.:03:14.

You've been taking part in the transplant games.

:03:15.:03:19.

Hospitals can be unfamiliar, unsettling places for children.

:03:20.:03:36.

For their operations, Harry and Simon were

:03:37.:03:42.

matching gowns specially made by volunteers

:03:43.:03:57.

The latest batch is destined for the Princes

:03:58.:04:00.

Royal Hospital in Telford and will be a special delivery.

:04:01.:04:02.

We spent a lot of time there, he knows everyone

:04:03.:04:05.

When they're in hospital, it's very scary, they're away from

:04:06.:04:08.

their parents and is a different environment so it's important we do

:04:09.:04:11.

all we can to make it more homely environment and the jammers give

:04:12.:04:14.

them something to talk about and choose.

:04:15.:04:16.

Harry knows how comforting it can be.

:04:17.:04:18.

Onto football now and Aston Villa have maintained their unbeaten home

:04:19.:04:28.

record with a 1-1 draw against Leeds United.

:04:29.:04:30.

It was Leeds who went ahead early in the second half.

:04:31.:04:33.

Pontus Jansson heading past Mark Bunn.

:04:34.:04:34.

But Villa equalised from the penalty spot just minutes before full time.

:04:35.:04:37.

Jonathan Kodja sending Rob Green the wrong way.

:04:38.:04:39.

And Villa had the chance to win in injury time -

:04:40.:04:41.

but Kodja was denied by a superb save.

:04:42.:04:43.

Villa are now up to 9th in the table.

:04:44.:04:45.

Elsewhere in the Championship, Burton Albion are up to 19th

:04:46.:04:48.

after a handy win at Rotherham, 2-1, their first ever away win

:04:49.:04:51.

Before we go, can you help reunite this little cat with its owners?

:04:52.:04:58.

The black and white cat's being cared for at a vet's in Kent

:04:59.:05:01.

after being discovered in the back of a workman's van.

:05:02.:05:03.

The man had been on a trip to the Midlands, working

:05:04.:05:06.

near the Odeon cinemas in Telford and Birmingham.

:05:07.:05:08.

The cat has a distinctive collar with the name Boss on it.

:05:09.:05:11.

So, if Boss is your cat, or you think you know who he belongs

The weather's coming up with Rebecca.

:05:22.:05:24.

Good evening. Well it was a cold and frosty start to the date today. In

:05:25.:05:35.

many places, we had lingering freezing fog which did not help with

:05:36.:05:41.

temperatures. For tomorrow, we start to see a westerly flow which will

:05:42.:05:46.

introduce more moisture and also a little bit more cloud. Still high

:05:47.:05:49.

pressure in charge so we should stay dry but even though we have mist and

:05:50.:05:53.

folk to start the night tonight, we will slowly start to see that cloud

:05:54.:05:58.

pushing it out of the way. It will still be cold with some places

:05:59.:06:02.

dipping as low as minus three Celsius. But we should manage to

:06:03.:06:06.

stay above freezing. Tomorrow will be misty again and that cloud will

:06:07.:06:11.

slowly work its way in from the West. A cloudy day. A breeze through

:06:12.:06:17.

the day and also some sunshine but temperatures doing better. 6-8 C. As

:06:18.:06:23.

we head towards the end of the week, we will see a change. This cold

:06:24.:06:29.

front will introduce much colder air and there is more information

:06:30.:06:38.

Hello. Fold and frost has been a feature of the weather in recent

:06:39.:06:45.

mornings in England and Wales, producing a wintry scene with Frost

:06:46.:06:51.

in Oxfordshire this morning. In Highland Scotland, a completely

:06:52.:06:54.

different story. Thank you to our weather watchers for the photos.

:06:55.:06:58.

Snow on the hills but temperatures reaching double figures as the wind

:06:59.:07:01.

picked up and the weather systems knocking on the door. That will be

:07:02.:07:05.

hanging around with outbreaks of rain, blasting into Friday and

:07:06.:07:08.
