Detectives investigating the murder of a man in his 20s have said he died from a single gunshot wound.
Emergency services were called to Callow Drive in the Gleadless Valley area of Sheffield shortly after 1.30am on Sunday following reports that a man had been shot.
The 25-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
South Yorkshire Police confirmed on Monday that a post-mortem examination had taken place and found the man had died as a result of a single gunshot wound.
Detective Chief Inspector Philip Etheridge, who is overseeing the investigation, said the man's family have been informed and are receiving support from specially trained officers.
Mr Etheridge said: "Extensive inquiries have been carried out over the course of the day and those living locally will have seen an increased police presence, which will continue over the coming days.
"I know that confirming this individual's cause of death will do little to ease the concerns and worries within the community, but please be assured that officers and staff are working tirelessly and meticulously to investigate this and bring those responsible to justice."
Earlier, Mr Etheridge urged anyone with information to come forward.
There was a large police presence in the Gleadless area on Sunday as an area around a block of flats was sealed off as forensic officers carried out a search.
People living in the area said they were shocked by what happened.
