Today Merseyside Police issued a fresh appeal for information, and in particular asked for a man seen cycling on Carr Lane East at around 6.30pm on the evening of the murder to come forward.
Detective Inspector Ben Wayment said: "We are appealing for a male who was riding his bike on Carr Lane East at around 6.30pm to please come forward as he may have information to help our ongoing investigation.
“If anyone else has any information that you think may assist us, please come forward. Specialist officers are continuing to support Kasey’s family in this difficult time, and we continue to ask for anyone with information to come forward if you are yet to do so.”
After Kasey's death a GoFundMe crowdfunding page was set up to assist his family. In a tribute to Kasey, the page's organiser, Lauren Lewis, said: "He was a genuine, nice lad. Polite, caring, kind, funny and loved by everyone. He had a caring nature and had time for everyone he came into contact with. He will be greatly missed."
Anyone with information is asked to DM @MerPolCC, call 101, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting reference 23000208420.
