Two weeks ago Lancashire Police charged 28-year-old Felipe Figueiredo with the murder of Dylan Bragger.

The incident occurred at 9.00pm on Thursday (June 29), on Digmoor Road in Skelmersdale. Emergency services attended but despite their best efforts, Dylan, 15, sadly died at the scene.

Over the past two weeks detectives have reviewed CCTV footage, spoke with residents and followed up a number of enquiries to establish the full circumstances leading to Dylan’s tragic death. We’d now ask for support from the community.

The investigation has identified a number of vehicles that we know will have passed the scene in the moments prior to the altercation. We’d ask that the drivers of those vehicles get in touch with us, even if only to confirm that they do not have any information of note.

Lancashire Police have already conducted extensive door-to-door enquiries, but we’re also interested in hearing from any residents in the area surrounding Digmoor road, that haven’t been spoken to by Police already, who may have captured either party on doorbell cameras or CCTV, before the incident.

Det Ch Insp Andrew Fallows, of the Force Major Investigation Team, said: “Whilst a man has been charged, our investigation is very much ongoing to establish as much information as possible about the circumstances leading to Dylan’s tragic death.

“Our ask is that if you were in the area on the evening of the 29th June and saw something, even if you believe it to be insignificant – please get in touch and let us decide.

“Likewise if you live locally or were travelling in the area and haven’t already been spoken to, please contact us”.

We continue to appeal to anyone with information about the investigation to call police on 101, quoting log 1526 of June 29.
