An alleged drug dealer has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Ashley Dale.
Miss Dale, 28, was at home in Leinster Road, Old Swan, when a gunman burst through her door and fired multiple shots "indiscriminately" at around 12.40am on August 21. She was shot in the abdomen and collapsed in the rear yard of the property, where she was spotted by a neighbour.
The Knowsley Council environmental health officer, considered a "rising star" by her colleagues, was beyond help when officers arrived. Today, Merseyside Police said a 22-year-old man from Liverpool City Centre was arrested yesterday evening on suspicion of assisting an offender and conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.
