A man who was shot dead in Sheffield was a recently-qualified solicitor for a law firm in the city, his employer has said.

Khuram Javed, 30, was found seriously injured in Clough Road, near Bramall Lane, on Saturday night.

Police said he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man, aged 31, was also injured but has been released from hospital.

Two men, aged 21 and 23, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Emergency services were called to the scene at about 21:40 BST on Saturday following reports of a man being shot.

Det Ch Insp Michael Hakin said: "It's believed a confrontation between two parties took place, prior to the fatal shot being fired".
