New details released in hunt for Sheffield gunman

A 22-year-old man remains in hospital after being shot in Meersbrook Park last Thursday at around 6.25pm.

Police today issued the most detailed description yet of the attacker, who is still at large nearly a week later.

He is believed to have dark brown shoulder length hair and to have been carrying a rucksack and wearing a black jacket with the hood up, a camouflaged coloured top underneath the jacket, and dark coloured jeans.

Detective Constable Matthew Williams, who is leading the investigation, said: "I would like to offer my reassurance that a team of detectives are working to pursue a number of lines of enquiry, and I’d encourage anyone who saw someone matching this description to report it.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting incident number 773 of April 26.
