A sixth person has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting.

Ben Daly, 30, was found wounded in Clemens Street, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, at around 03:00 BST on 10 August and later died in hospital.

The man was detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and released on bail.

A 52 year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder on Sunday has also been released on police bail.

Two other men and two women arrested on Thursday evening on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder are also on bail.

Warwickshire Police said the tragic incident had shocked the community, but the ensuing investigation was "making rapid progress".

"This was an isolated incident, and we are doing everything in our power to bring those responsible to justice," said Det Ch Insp Teresa McKenna.
