Haroon Jahan, 21, and brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, died after they were hit by the car in the early hours of Wednesday while trying to protect shops from looters in Winson Green… An estimated 2,000 people gathered in Summerfield Park, near Winson Green, to show unity and solidarity against the rioters. The crowd observed a minute’s silence in honour of the three men, while figures from the city spoke about their love of the city and the need for solidarity and calm.
