Police are appealing for information following another shooting in Bootle just before the killing.

Detectives said they were keeping an "open mind" after shots were fired in Marie Curie Avenue before 20:00 BST on Thursday. There were no reports of injuries.

A police spokesman said: "It is possible there was an altercation in the road and the force has received reports of a loud bang being heard."
