    Detectives investigating the murder of a man in a shooting in Leeds have arrested a further suspect.

    Officers from West Yorkshire Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team arrested the 37-year-old man from an address in the Oakwood area of the city on Wednesday 24 October on suspicion of the murder of Christopher Lewis.

    The 24-year-old was shot and fatally injured on Reginald Street, Chapeltown, on Wednesday 1 August, in what was believed to be a targeted attack. He died from his injuries in hospital the next day.

    A total of 14 people have previously been arrested as part of the case and later released under investigation.

    Detective Superintendent Jim Dunkerley, of West Yorkshire Police Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, said: “We are continuing to build up a picture of the circumstances surrounding the murder of Christopher Lewis and this latest arrest today shows how our enquiries are progressing.

    “We remain convinced that there are people out there in the community who have vital information that could assist in bringing those responsible for Christopher’s death to justice.

    “We urge those people to think about the impact that his death in such sudden and violent circumstances has had on his family and to tell us what they know either directly, or anonymously through Crimestoppers.”
