HAUNTING footage has been released showing a hooded man before a Solihull woman was callously shot in her own home.
Police have released the CCTV in the hope the public can identify the man they want to speak to after the 51-year-old was shot yesterday morning (December 18).
The man, covered in a hood and wearing a high visibility jacket, strides up to the doorstep of a house with his head down – appearing to be clutching something in his pocket.
