Police were called to a shooting outside the One Four One bar on West Street in Sheffield at 2.45am on Monday. A 30-year-old woman was found with serious injuries and died later in hospital. Her next of kin have been informed, and she has not been formally identified. Police believe she was an innocent bystander on a night out to celebrate the bank holiday weekend. South Yorkshire police released a CCTV image of a white Audi believed to be involved and asked anyone on West Street or Eldon Street in the early hours to report information. Two men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of murder and are in police custody for questioning, including arrests near Stockport and in Sheffield. Police also urged people who know who is responsible to come forward despite fear.
"Following extensive inquiries over the last 36 hours, we believe the victim was an innocent bystander who was on a night out in our city to celebrate the bank holiday weekend. Gun crime causes devastation within families and communities. In this case, an innocent woman who should have been able to safely enjoy a night out in Sheffield has been killed, and her loved ones have been left to face the heartbreaking reality that they will never see her again."
"South Yorkshire police released a CCTV image of a white Audi that they believe was involved in the incident, and are appealing for anyone who was on West Street or Eldon Street in the early hours of Monday morning to come forward if they saw anything. If you were out in Sheffield in the early hours of Monday morning, please take a look at our website or Facebook page and report anything you saw to us."
"Two men and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of murder and all three are in police custody for questioning. One of the men, 30, and the woman, 32, were arrested near Stockport in Greater Manchester in the early hours of Monday morning. The second man, 30, was arrested in Sheffield."
"We also know there are others within our communities who know who is responsible or who is involved in gun crime but feel too scared to tell us what they know. Police urged people to report information, including those who may be afraid to come forward, to help with inquiries into the incident."
