The city of Liverpool has come together to call for change after the murder of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
Nine-year-old Olivia was fatally shot inside her home on Kingsheath Avenue in Dovecot on Monday (August 22). Merseyside Police believe Joseph Nee, 35, who was being chased by a man armed with a gun, forced his way into Olivia's house at around 10pm.
The offender ran in after Nee, firing a number of shots - one of which hit Olivia's mum Cheryl in the wrist before fatally wounding Olivia. A dark-coloured Audi then appeared at the address and picked Nee up, leaving Cheryl and daughter Olivia behind.
