Detectives 'piecing together' all the information gathered after fatal shooting at Sheffield car wash

Lamar Leroy Griffiths was gunned down while he was sat in a blue BMW at the Diamond Hand Car Wash business on Burngreave Road, Burngreave, at 6.45pm on Tuesday, March 29.

Bullets fired from a passing car penetrated the windscreen, fatally injuring 21-year-old Lamar.

The car used in the drive-by was later found abandoned after being torched in the Darnall area.

Detectives investigating the murder arrested a 23-year-old Sheffield man on Friday on suspicion of assisting an offender.

He has since been released on bail after police questioning.

Detective Chief Inspector Mick Hakin, leading the investigation, said: “We have been piecing together everything we have uncovered so far, but we are still keen for anyone who may know something – no matter how small they think that is – to get in contact with us so we can continue to determine what happened in the lead up to, and after, Lamar was killed.”

Earlier in the police probe, he said: “This incident will understandably cause shock and concern in the local community. I want to reassure residents that a dedicated team of officers will be working around the clock to piece together the circumstances of what has happened and trace those responsible.”
