‘Kill him, everyone kill him’ – Moment dad protecting son attacked on …
This is the moment a shocking attack was unleashed on dad Kelvin Ward who was trying to protect his son. Distressing CCTV footage released by police, with the consent of his family, shows the devastating chase by the armed gang.
Tyrone Hollywood, Leighton Williams, Rusharn Williams-Reid, and Aaron Coates, were in a stolen Ford Kuga which had driven into the KFC[1] car park on Chester Road, Castle Bromwich. It then rammed the Vauxhall Corsa carrying Mr Ward and his son.
Mr Ward’s son drove away, but their car was rammed. Mr Ward’s son fled the vehicle as the gang from the Kuga shouted: “Get him now, keep chasing. Kill him, everyone kill him.”
He managed to escape with the help of a man on an e-bike. Hollywood and Leighton Williams were then caught on CCTV stabbing Mr Ward. He suffered a fatal wound to the heart. Hollywood struck Mr Ward again as he lay dying in the road, police added.

Police bodycam footage then shows armed officers raiding the homes of one of the suspects. Police shout at Leighton Williams to walk downstairs and come to the front door. He is then cuffed and led away.
