A man shot multiple times in the legs and back was sitting by a memorial to a murdered friend when the "targeted" attack began.
The victim, 23, is understood to have been chatting with friends in a pedestrianised area between Croxdale Road West and Croxdale Road, West Derby, at around 4.55pm on Saturday (July 2). Floral tributes and a painted mural have been laid at the scene in memory of Elliot Mulligan, 22, who was stabbed to death in Albufeira, Portugal, on April 25 this year.
Mr Mulligan had previously lived on the adjoining Snowberry Road, before moving to Northern Ireland. Locals in the area of the shooting told the ECHO Mr Mulligan's friends and others regularly gathered at the scene.
