The man who was killed after being shot in Dingle has been named as Sam Rimmer.
Merseyside police have confirmed that the 22-year-old died after being shot in the chest, at around 11.40pm on Tuesday, August 16. Sam Rimmer, from Bootle, had been with a group of friends in cul-de-sac Lavrock Bank when suspects shot at them.
The suspects then rode off from the scene on two bikes, believed to be electric bikes. Paramedics attempted to treat Sam but he was pronounced dead a short while later at hospital.
