Detectives continue to appeal for information on what would have been Nyle Corrigan's 20th birthday

Detectives are today, Monday 26^th April, continuing to appeal for information to coincide with what would have been the 20^th birthday of Nyle Corrigan.

The 19 year-old died from a single gunshot wound to the back after being shot in Boode Croft in Stockbridge Village at around 6.30pm on Thursday 12 November 2020.

A murder investigation has been underway since his death and a number of lines of enquiry have been undertaken.

To date four people have been arrested in connection with his death but nobody has been charged.

Detective Chief Inspector Cath Haggerty, who is leading the murder investigation, said: "Today is obviously a significant milestone for Nyle’s family as it will be the first year they will not be able to celebrate his birthday with him.

"In the five months since his death significant progress has been made with the investigation but I would still appeal for anyone who has not so far contacted us to get in touch.

"Information and CCTV or dashcam footage provided by the public and taxi and private hire drivers could be crucial and I would appeal directly to anyone who was driving in the area at the time and may have dashcam to contact us as a matter of urgency.

"There is no place in Merseyside for firearms, and anyone who stores them or uses them to cause fear, injury or worse are simply not welcome here. 

"I would urge anyone who saw anything or who has any information which could help us with our enquiries to contact us urgently. You may not think that the information you have is significant but it could help us with our enquiries."
