The location of the gun used to murder Elle Edwards on Christmas Eve is still on the streets and its location remains a major focus for detectives.
At a media briefing next to the cordoned off Lighthouse Pub in Wallasey Village, where the 26-year-old was shot in the head on Christmas Eve, Merseyside Deputy Chief Constable Ian Critchley blasted the "coward" who unleashed multiple shots into a crowded area.
Detectives say they do not believe beautician Elle was the intended target of the gunman and that she was hit by shots fired at someone else. Four other men were wounded in the attack, including a 28-year-old man from Beechwood who was described as being in a critical condition.
