Three men sentenced for Raheem Wilks murder

    Three men have been jailed for life over the murder of 19-year-old Raheem Wilks who died after being shot in Leeds earlier this year.

    Raheem was shot at Too Sharps’s barber shop, in Gathorne Terrace, Harehills, on the afternoon of 26 January.

    He underwent emergency surgery at hospital but was pronounced dead later that day. A post-mortem examination found that he died from a single gunshot wound to the chest.

    Officers investigating believed it to be a targeted attack with possible links to the supply of Class A drugs in the area.

    Following a trial at Leeds Crown Court, Keal Richards, Tremaine Wisdom and Jaydn Manners were found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 33 years.
