Four men have been charged with attempted murder following a violent incident involving gunfire and a stabbing in Kingswinford, West Midlands, on February 18, 2026. The charges follow a disturbance that broke out shortly after 1:00 AM at Ketley Fields, where a 23-year-old man was found with stab wounds that were not considered life-changing.
Courtney Johnson, Shakeel Janjua, Qaseem Janjua, and Zayn Khan are set to appear at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on February 20, 2026. According to the West Midlands Police, the group also faces charges for possession of a firearm and possession of an offensive weapon.
The arrests followed a major search of the area involving armed officers and a helicopter from the National Police Air Service. During the pursuit, officers found suspects hiding in trees, while another individual was discovered with a broken leg inside a well.
West Midlands Police have increased patrols in the Ketley Fields and Albermarle Road area to speak with concerned residents. Officers are still asking for anyone with dashcam or doorbell footage from the night of the shooting to share it with the investigation team.
