An "antisocial" family left a house in a street where 22-year-old Sam Rimmer was shot dead after Merseyside Police applied for a closure order.
Mr Rimmer was in Lavrock Bank, Dingle, on August 16 when a group of four men on two electric bikes opened fire, striking him in the chest. There has been a number of arrests but so far no-one has been charged with his murder.
However last week a family living in the street left before Liverpool Magistrates Court granted a full closure order under Section 80 of the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. The order, sought by Merseyside Police, means the former tenants Lisa McPartland, 49, and her two sons Lewis and Christopher McParland cannot enter the building for three months.
