Three more men have been arrested on suspicion of murder following the shooting of a 32-year-old man in Sheffield.

Kassim Mohammed was killed in an incident on Watery Street in Upperthorpe, just after 22:00 BST on 30 September.

Merseyside Police arrested two men aged 27 and 31 on Friday morning, while a 35-year-old man was arrested by South Yorkshire Police on Thursday. They remain in custody.

Six people have now been arrested in connection with the case. A 31-year-old woman and men aged 22 and 20 previously arrested on suspicion of murder have been bailed pending further inquiries, South Yorkshire Police said.

Det Chief Insp Andy Knowles said: "We remain keen to hear from anyone with relevant dashcam, CCTV or doorbell footage and would encourage anyone who is yet to contact us in this regard to please get in touch."

Mr Mohammed's family earlier said his death would "leave a void in our hearts that will never be filled".

"Kassim was a devoted young father, a loving son, and a kind, family-orientated man, whose caring nature touched everyone around him," they said.
