A year to the day since the death of Rikki Berry in Kirkby, a man from Ormskirk is being questioned on suspicion of his murder.
Emergency services were called to Quarryside Drive just after 6:30pm on Thursday 17 July 2024 after reports a man had been shot.
Rikki, nicknamed 'Nuggy', died a short time later at the age of 36.
A 24-year-old man from Ormskirk has been arrested on suspicion of murder and a 45-year-old woman from Kirkby has been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
Three men were jailed for life earlier this year for Rikki's murder.
Detective Inspector Graeme Osborne said:
"Merseyside Police is relentless in our pursuit of anyone involved in gun crime and serious organised crime.
"Offenders should be assured that we will leave no stone unturned in our efforts to take their weapons off them and that time is no barrier in our efforts to bring people to justice.
"Information from the public is an absolutely crucial part of our work"
"Information from the public is an absolutely crucial part of our work to protect our communities from the fear and harm weapons can bring and we appeal to anyone who has information on where weapons are being stored, carried and used to come forward.
"I completely understand that some may find the idea of speaking out daunting. If you don’t feel comfortable coming directly to the police you can call the independent, anonymous, Crimestoppers."
