On a summer's evening in 2017, a young man collapsed to the ground behind a row of shops in Toxteth just off the bustling Lodge Lane.
Yusuf Sonko, 18, had been struck in the head by a single bullet, fired at the group he was standing with in Tagus Street at around 8.30pm on Friday, June 2. Paramedics desperately tried to save Yusuf, but his injuries were catastrophic and the damage was done.
Today marks five years since Yusuf was killed, but no-one has been charged or convicted over his death despite eight arrests and a £20,000 reward for information. At the time detectives said the offenders were believed to have been on bicycles and used a 9mm handgun, firing around five shots including the one that struck Yusuf.
