The death of a teenager who was found on an industrial estate is the second fatal shooting in 2024 after Merseyside went over a year without one.
Mr Hale, 50, died after being shot inside a flat on Haslingden Close in Old Swan. Merseyside Police were first called to the scene on January 29 after receiving reports a man had entered an address and shot another male. Armed police attended the incident and Mr Hale was rushed to hospital via an air ambulance in a critical condition after suffering a serious gunshot wound to his face, but died on the afternoon of February 4.
Ms Edwards' murder was the last of five fatal shootings on Merseyside in 2022. In a devastating six-day period in August, Sam Rimmer, Ashley Dale and nine-year-old schoolgirl Olivia Pratt-Korbel were killed in Dingle, Old Swan and Dovecot respectively. Nan Jacqui Rutter was also shot at her Morton home in October.
Extensive CCTV enquiries are being carried out in the area and house-to-house investigations continue. A spokesperson for Merseyside Police confirmed specialist family liaison officers are supporting the young victim's family. Mark Baker, who is leading the investigation, said: "This was an appalling and tragic incident in which a young man has lost his life, and our thoughts first and foremost are with his family, who are trying to come to terms with his loss.
