Two weeks to the day after Aseel Al-Essaie was gunned down in Daniel Hull, Upperthorpe, officers revisited the crime scene and surrounding streets looking for people who may have information on the killing.

Aseel was in a black Mercedes C-Class and had just arrived for a family gathering to celebrate his twin sister's engagement when he was shot in his chest in broad daylight.

He was rushed to hospital but could not be saved.
