Nyle Corrigan, 19, was killed in November 2020

A third man has been charged with the murder of a 19-year-old man who was shot in his back.

Nyle Corrigan died after being found with serious injuries in Stockbridge Village, Knowsley, in November 2020.

Anthony Llewellyn, 25, of no fixed address, was due to appear at Wirral Magistrates Court charged with his murder, Merseyside Police said.

He was also charged with conspiring to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life.

Two other men have previously been charged with Mr Corrigan's murder.

Jamie Coggins, 27, of The Spinney in Stockbridge Village and Connor Smith, 26, of Midway Road in Huyton were charged on Monday.

They were each also charged with conspiring to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life.

A 48-year-old man and 47-year-old woman have also been charged with assisting an offender, the force said.

In 2023, Merseyside Police issued a fresh appeal for information on the third anniversary of Mr Corrigan's death.
