A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Sam Rimmer.
This morning, Merseyside police carried out raids linked to recent gun violence in the city. During the warrants, carried out at addresses across the L8 area, officers confirmed that they arrested a man, in his 20s, on suspicion of murdering the 22-year-old, from Bootle.
Detectives revealed this week that tip-offs from the community had been flowing in, after the murder of "little-man Sam." He was shot dead on Lavrock Bank at around 11.40pm on Tuesday, August 16, while he was out with a group of people.
