Burngreave shooting: Police hunting for killer gunman not linking Sheffield gun attack with any others

South Yorkshire Police said today that officers investigating the gun attack at the Diamond Hand Car Wash business on Burngreave Road, Burngreave, on Tuesday are “not linking it with any other incident”.

A 21-year-old man, named locally as Lamar, was gunned down while he was sat in a blue BMW at the car wash.

Bullet holes could be seen in the windscreen and car bonnet afterwards.

Lamar was taken to hospital but could not be saved, with his death triggering a murder probe.

The crime scene cordon was lifted last night, 48 hours after the shooting, once all forensic and investigative work at the scene was completed.

Door to door enquiries have also been conducted to establish what local residents saw or heard.

Detectives investigating the shooting have asked anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage which could help them to come forward.

The car believed to have been used by the gunman – a white Ford Fiesta – was found abandoned in Darnall shortly after the shooting. It had been set alight.

Detective Chief Inspector Mick Hakin, leading the police probe, said: “If you know something - I urge you to tell us. A family has lost a son. We are determined to get answers for them at this most horrendous time.”Anyone with information should call 101 quoting incident number 774 of March 29 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
