Detectives investigating the murder of Leeds teenager Raheem Wilks are making a renewed appeal for information to trace the gun used to kill him.

Officers are also appealing for information to identify those connected to the weapon or who were involved in the wider planning of the shooting.

Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £5,000 to anyone providing information directly to the charity that leads to the recovery of the weapon and the arrest and conviction of those connected to the weapon.

Raheem, who was aged 19, was shot at Too Sharps’s barber shop, in Gathorne Terrace, Harehills, on the afternoon of Thursday 26 January last year.

A murder investigation was launched into what was believed to be a targeted attack linked to the supply of Class A drugs in the area.

The investigation resulted in three men being jailed with life sentences.
