Police were called to Rotton Park Road, near the junction with City Road in Edgbaston, just before 11pm on Friday to reports that two people had been shot.
One man, in his 30s, was found injured at a bus stop and taken to hospital where he remains, West Midlands Police said.
The second man, in his 20s, was found in a car but was pronounced dead at the scene, the force added.
His family are being supported by officers.
A man in his 30s was arrested but has now been released from the investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Laura Harrison, from the homicide team, said: “This was a tragic incident, and we’re working at pace to understand exactly what happened.
“The shooting took place near the busy junction with City Road and it may be that you have information which can help our investigation progress.
“If so, please get in touch urgently.”
The force is continuing to appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time, or may have dashcam footage or mobile phone footage from the area at the time, to contact the police via the Online Portal, or by calling 101 or Live Chat, quoting log 5228 of 22 November.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
