A second man has been arrested in connection with a shooting which left a man with serious leg injuries. The victim was reported to have been shot twice on the driveway of an address on Radway Road in Huyton by two men on a Sur-ron bike.
The incident occurred just before 10.20pm on Friday, November 28. The victim, a man in his 20s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries to his leg. On December 1, officers from Nottinghamshire Police arrested a 31-year-old man from Nottingham on suspicion of attempted murder and possession of a firearm. He has been conditionally bailed.
Detective Inspector Chris Clark from the Firearms Investigation Team said at the time: “Although an arrest has been made in Nottingham our investigation is still ongoing.
“If you have any CCTV or dashcam footage of what happened on Radway Road on the night of Friday 28 November please contact us.
“I would like to thank officers of Nottinghamshire Police who executed two warrants in the area and arrested a man inside a house early this morning.
“I hope this arrest and the seizure of the alleged firearm and Sur-ron bike in Kirkby sends a clear message to those involved in serious and organised crime that police forces are relentless in pursuing criminals to bring them to justice.”
Merseyside Police have now announced that a 35-year-old man from Allerton has been arrested on suspicion of Possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life; Section 18 wounding; Criminal damage; and Possession of cannabis.
He was detained yesterday, December 17, and has also been conditionally bailed pending further enquiries.
Detective Inspector Clark said: “This investigation is progressing, and this second man is now under investigation. However, we are still keen to speak to anyone with information who has not yet made themselves known.
“What you know could still prove vital in bringing those responsible to justice, and please do not assume that we already hold this information.
“Our team will make that assessment, and take the appropriate action. Whether you have a first-hand account, dashcam, CCTV, doorbell or other footage, come forward.
Knowsley Local Policing Superintendent Karl Baldwin said: “We understand the fear that gun crime causes and will continue to provide a visible and proactive police presence in the Huyton community.
“It is vital that those in the community work with us to reduce the risk.
“Silence is not an option. Information can be passed directly to those officers; over the phone; online; or anonymously via Crimestoppers, which is completely independent of the police.”
