Lenny Scott was targeted in a "abhorrent assassination", Lancashire Police said

Detectives investigating the death of a man who was shot outside a gym are appealing for footage of the murder suspect leaving the scene on an e-bike.

Lenny Scott was found injured in Peel Road, Skelmersdale, at about 19:35 GMT on 8 February and died in hospital.

The 33-year-old father-of-three was targeted in a "abhorrent assassination", Lancashire Police said.

The force appealed for anyone with CCTV or other footage of the suspect around Digmoor and Upholland to come forward.

Officers are seeking footage from between 17:30 and 02:00 GMT on 8 February.

Four men from Liverpool have been arrested during the investigation - a 34-year-old and a 25-year-old on suspicion of murder, a 37-year-old on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and a 27-year-old on suspicion of assisting an offender.

They have all been released on conditional bail.

Det Supt Gareth Willis said: "We know that there are people out there who know why this much-loved father-of-three was killed and who was involved.

"I am appealing directly to them to do the right thing by Lenny's family and come forward.

"I want to take this opportunity to thank all those people who have come forward with information and footage so far and appeal to anyone who has still not been in contact with us to do so as soon as possible.

"You might have the key piece of information which takes a cold-blooded killer off the streets."
