APPEAL | Detectives are issuing images of a person who may be able to assist the investigation into a shooting in #Toxteth last month. At around 1.20pm on Wednesday 23 September, it was reported that a gun had been fired on Trefoil Close. There were no reports of injuries or damage. Extensive enquiries have been ongoing, including CCTV analysis, house-to-house enquiries and forensic examinations. Detective Inspector Chris Clark from our Firearms Investigation Team (FIT) said: “Although the image does not show the person’s face, we think the distinctive clothing and bag may jog someone’s memory. You may have seen them in the area or be familiar with them from their clothing and build. Please come forward as soon as possible if so. “Likewise, we are still looking for any other information to assist our ongoing investigation. If you live locally or were passing on the day of the incident, please check CCTV, dashcam or doorbell devices if you have not already. Despite there being no damage or injuries in this case, firing a gun in a residential area is an exceptionally dangerous act which can cause devastation in our communities. “We will follow all leads to find those responsible and bring them to justice.” Anyone with information can contact Merseyside Police social media desk via X @MerPolCC or on Facebook ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ with reference 26000782191. You can also report information via our website: orlo.uk/UPVej or by calling 101.
