5 Men Went To Sh**t Up A House But Only 4 Came Back Alive | The Hunter Became The Hunted

On the 18th October 2024, five men set off through the streets of Birmingham on a mission to shoot up a house in Alum Rock. They had their target, their instructions, and even a photo of the address — all sent through Snapchat. They were told to fire eight times and film it. But before they could carry out the attack, they were ambushed. One of their own, 19-year-old Ali Riyan, was shot dead on the streets of Washwood Heath. In this video, we break down the full story — from the first shooting on 4th October 2024 in Alum Rock, to the conspiracy that brought five men together, to the murder of Ali Riyan and the conviction of the man who pulled the trigger. This is the story of two cases — one conspiracy, one murder — and how they connect. The Gang: Faieq Ghazanfar — the organiser. Jailed 11 years 10 months. Lesane Anishere — carried out the first shooting. Jailed 14 years. Abdulaziz Jama — part of the ride out. Jailed 5 years 8 months. Asfeya Gardi — part of the ride out. Jailed 5 years 8 months. Ali Riyan — killed before the second attack could happen. The Killer: Seraaj Ayub — convicted of Ali Riyan’s murder. Shot him from the back seat of a black Mercedes. Fled the country the same night. Caught returning to the UK by ferry from Dublin in January 2025. Found guilty after a two-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court. All cases were heard at Birmingham Crown Court. Justice has now been served — but a 19-year-old lost his life in a cycle of street violence that started with a Snapchat message.
