Newly-released footage shows the moments before horror double murder - the gunman is still at large

Detectives investigating a shocking double murder during a lockdown party in Moss Side have released mobile phone footage which may capture the start of a row that ended with two shot dead.

Police believe Cheriff Tall, 21, was shot first when a row suddenly erupted with the gunman - and moments later father-of-three Abayomi 'Junior' Ajose, 36, a support worker, was also gunned down after he stepped in to help. Both men were shot in the head during a lockdown party held in a car park off Caythorpe Street, Moss Side, in the early hours of June 21, 2020.

After the second anniversary of the shootings, detectives have released mobile phone footage from the party, which was against lockdown rules at the time. It shows the car park was packed full of people, including one who was playing music for the crowd.
