Humza Tufail
Case Information & Details
Humza Tufail has been involved in significant criminal proceedings in the UK, primarily related to a shooting incident.
In May 2019, an 18-year-old Humza Tufail, residing on Mount Close, Moseley, was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, assault, and attempted murder. These charges stemmed from a shooting and assault in Balsall Heath on May 2, 2019, where a gun was fired and a victim sustained minor injuries from an assault. He was scheduled to appear before Birmingham Magistrates Court on May 6, 2019.
More recently, Humza Tufail was involved in a revenge ambush shooting that occurred on August 13, 2025, in Woodnorton Drive, Moseley. Tufail, along with Awil Mohammed, Abdelhafez Mohammed, and Mohammed Aziz, lured Shakeel Ali to a cul-de-sac where his car was rammed, and he was shot in the chest and leg. The victim suffered life-changing injuries and was in intensive care for over a week. The motive for the attack was Tufail's belief that Ali had been involved in a shooting at his home ten months prior.
Humza Tufail, aged 25, pleaded guilty to Section 18 wounding with intent and possession of a firearm with intent to cause violence. He was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on June 25, 2026, to 18 years for the Section 18 wounding and possession of a firearm with intent to cause violence. This sentence includes a five-year extended period on license. The group's combined sentences totaled 78 years.
