Police in Spain have released video footage from inside the apartment a Liverpool fugitive had been living in.
David Ungi jnr was arrested at a gym inside a shopping centre in the town of Coin, Malaga, alongside three other men last Thursday. The National Crime Agency (NCA) said police seized a 9mm Ruger handgun and ammunition from a rucksack during the operation.
Ungi, from south Liverpool, was wanted in relation to the murder of Vinny Waddington who was shot dead in Banks Road, Garston. Ungi left the UK less than 24 hours after Vinny was killed in 2015.

Ungi, 30, was arrested at a gym inside a shopping centre in the town of Coin, Malaga, alongside three other men. Spanish police have now released video footage which shows officers carrying out a subsequent search of the property Ungi had been living in with his associates.
A court granted a warrant which allowed police to search the building. Police said they found three firearms in the flat.
Ungi has already appeared before a Spanish court for a first appearance and extradition proceedings are likely to follow. Ungi is also wanted in connection with the supply of heroin in the Liverpool area.
The three other men arrested have been remanded into custody after appearing in court.
Speaking after news of Ungi's arrest was announced on Friday evening, Steve Reynolds, NCA regional manager in Spain, said: “Three of the UK’s most wanted fugitives being arrested in a week is a fantastic achievement. Ungi is a very dangerous person and his arrest is good news for communities both in Liverpool and Spain.
“These arrests would not have been possible without close cooperation between police forces in the UK and our law enforcement colleagues in Spain and Portugal. There are still a number of fugitives on our most wanted list, and they should know we will never give up and we’re never far behind them."
Vinny, 18, was the pillion passenger on a scrambler type motorbike being driven by his friend, Francis Humphries, which was rammed by an Audi A3 car. In the seconds that followed a single shotgun blast was fired from the Audi's driver side window.
Vinny suffered catastrophic wounds to the left side of his chest but was able to jump over a garden fence before collapsing. Mr Humphries was peppered with shotgun pellets but survived with relatively minor injuries.
Luke Kendrick and Ryan Bate were in the Audi and are a short way into life sentences after being convicted of murder in 2016, but detectives believe a third man was in the vehicle. It is not clear which of the three fired the fatal shot and the murder weapon has never been recovered.
