A 52-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of murder after a shooting in Leamington last week, has been released on police bail.
A murder investigation was opened on Thursday, 10 August into the death of 30-year-old Ben Daly, who was found with a gunshot wound in Clemens Street at around 3am that morning. Ben was taken to hospital, but died as a result of his injuries.
Four other people, two men and two women, who were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder, two men and two women, were released on police bail at the weekend.
Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Teresa McKenna said: “While we try to establish the circumstances leading up to this incident, we would still like to hear from any potential witnesses who may have been in the area between 1am and 3am on Thursday morning and who may have seen something suspicious. We would particularly like to hear from anyone who may have dashcam footage of Frances Havergal Close or Ranelagh Terrace between these times.
“If you think you saw anything suspicious or have doorbell or dash cam footage that could help with our investigation, I would urge you to get in touch via the channels outlined below.
“Our thoughts continue to remain with Ben’s loved ones at this difficult time.”
