A pregnant woman held her father moments before his death after he was shot seven times outside a family home. Nicky Ayers, 46, was gunned down at close range in Derby in April 2010.
The amateur football coach's death devastated his family after he was shot on South Cantril Avenue outside his mother-in-law's home after having dinner and before planning to meet a friend near Meadow Lane, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The father returned to the property from a local chip shop and was confronted by a killer who fired multiple shots. His eldest daughter, who was pregnant at the time, saw him bleeding on the ground and ran out to comfort him as he lay dying from the gunshots.
