Mickelle Sharp was later arrests in just his pants
Shocking CCTV footage shows a gunman repeatedly shooting a gang rival in broad daylight – before being arrested in just his pants.
Mickelle Sharp blasted the man after a dispute over drugs erupted into violence on the streets of Birmingham.
Footage shows the 33-year-old being chased down Camp Lane in Handsworth before turning and firing at the man who ducked down behind a wheelie bin.
Gun shots can be heard as Sharp fires two more times at the man who scrambled into a car and sped away on 3 August last year.
Sharp can be heard shouting at the man: “You think you’re a bad boy, yeh!” before opening fire and screaming: “Come back!”
The injured man was only shot through the arm and has since recovered.
Detectives from West Midlands Police identified Sharp as the shooter and traced him to a flat in Aspen Close, Acocks Green, Birmingham.
Police bodycam footage shows officers arresting a half-naked Sharp at the flat two days after the shooting.
Sharp shouts through the letterbox: “Officers?”
A cop replies: “Hello, armed police. I want you to slowly open the door with your hands up and nothing in your hands okay?”
Sharp, wearing just his pants with a towel over his shoulder, is then seen opening the door and walking out with his hands up before being arrested.
The officer tells him: “Walk towards me, keep your hands there. Okay, stop and turn around.”
Sharp then confirms his name before officers search the flat.
More than 100 wraps of crack cocaine, heroin, and cannabis were found along with £16,000 in cash.
Police also searched a car used by Sharp which contained a black-handled revolver that had three bullets missing.
Sharp admitted possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and drugs supply and was jailed for 21 years at Birmingham Crown Court on April 6.
Detective Sergeant Matt Dyer said: “This was a reckless discharge of a firearm in broad daylight in a busy street; innocent pedestrians or motorists could easily have been caught up in this and seriously injured.
“It’s clear there was some kind of bad blood between these two and we suspect it’s drug-related.”
Dyer said the victim was “very lucky to escape serious injury”.
Sharp was initially charged with attempted murder but a plea of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life was accepted by the Crown and the police.
