A ninth person has been arrested by police investigating a fatal shooting in Sheffield.

Kassim Mohammed, 32, was killed on 30 September on Watery Street in the Upperthorpe area of the city.

A 29-year-old man was arrested on Friday on suspicion of conspiracy to murder and has been bailed pending further inquiries.

Seven men aged 18, 20, 22, 27, 30, 31 and 35, and a 31-year old woman have been arrested and bailed while inquiries continue.

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.
