Killer lay in wait and shot dad as he sat behind the wheel of his van

The case of a helpless dad who was gunned down outside his place of work remains unsolved nearly 17 years on.

Dad-of-one Stephen Lloyd was shot at as he sat in his Renault Kangoo van outside MWM Services on Redfern Street, Bootle, at around 5.10pm on Thursday, July 13 2006. The 25-year-old, who was shot a number of times in the chest, tried to drive the few yards back into his workplace to get help from his colleagues but died moments later.

Gunshots rang out along the street and nearby workers rushed to the scene where they found Stephen's body in his van with the windows blasted out. It is believed his killers lay in wait, knowing he would be leaving work.
