There are sanctuaries for corvid birds. If you are in the SE of England, there is one in Surrey called "raven haven". I was told by someone who works there that they do well on soft (biscuit type) catfood.
I would try to put it in a shoe box and give it water and scraps of food until it dies. Unless you are near a sanctuary similar to the one AnswerPrancer mentioned there's not much more you can do other than keep it comfortable.
Heres a link for Raven Haven.

Very sad to watch this poor creature dying a slow death. If you can catch it, a vet would carry out euthanasia.
Vets will treat wild birds for free. Could its wing be saved ?
