'It was a disaster waiting to happen': Calls for late-night street parties to be managed after man shot dead in Moss Side

Local residents in Moss Side have called for better management of street parties in the area after a man was fatally shot.

The tragic incident happened on Claremont Road at 12.15am this morning (Monday). The victim - who police believe is aged between 18 and 25 - was killed just hours after the Manchester Caribbean Carnival officially ended.

But street parties went on well into the early hours, with videos seen by the Manchester Evening News showing huge crowds packed onto Claremont Road and the surrounding streets. One local resident said people were 'packed like sardines' on the road before the shots were fired.
