Jermaine Smith died on 25 October after a shooting in Wolverhampton

Police investigating the fatal shooting of a man in Wolverhampton have arrested three more people on suspicion of murder, including a 16-year-old girl.

Jermaine Smith, 30, died at the scene after being shot on Lilleshall Crescent in the All Saints area at about 00:15 BST on 25 October.

West Midlands Police said the girl and two men, aged 18 and 19, were arrested on Saturday. Another 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder earlier in the week.

The force said that all four remained in custody for questioning.

A murder investigation was launched after Mr Smith was fatally shot in the early hours of 25 October

In a tribute last week, Mr Smith's mother Nadine Shakespeare said he "always tried to help others" and was "a bright, loving and a respectful young man with so many dreams ahead of him".

She added: "Losing him in such a cruel and senseless way has destroyed me. No mother should ever have to bury her child.

"My family and I are broken and all we want now is justice for my son so his soul can finally rest in peace."

Police are continuing to appeal for anyone with any information to come forward to call 101 or contact the force via Live Chat on its website.
