Sheffield shooting: Two more arrests in murder investigation

Three people have now been arrested on suspicion of murder

Police investigating the fatal shooting of a father-of-two in Sheffield have made two more arrests.

The victim, 19, was taken to hospital following the attack in Page Hall Road shortly before 01:00 GMT on Tuesday and died on Wednesday.

Two men, aged 21 and 23, were arrested on suspicion of murder on Friday and remain in custody.

A 41-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder on Thursday also remains in custody, South Yorkshire Police said.

Det Ch Insp Joanne Kemp said the victim "leaves behind a partner and two young children and had his whole life ahead of him".

A post-mortem examination revealed he died as a result of a single gunshot wound.

Police continue to appeal for information

The 21-year-old was from the Manor area of the city, police said, while the 23-year-old was from Walkley.

Det Ch Insp Kemp said: "We still need the public to come forward with information about what happened in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

"We are doing all we can to tackle gun crime in our communities but we cannot do this without the public's help.

"Those who choose to carry firearms on our streets are putting innocent, local people in danger and it's crucial we hunt them down as swiftly as we possibly can."
