There is an increased police presence in the Gleadless Valley area of Sheffield today (Sunday 9 April) following the death of a man overnight.
Emergency services were called to Callow Drive shortly after 1.30am, following reports that a man had been shot.
Upon arrival, a man in his 20s was found with serious gunshot injuries. Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. While formal identification is yet to take place, his family has been notified.
A forensic post mortem examination will take place in due course.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Etheridge said: “Incidents of this nature understandably cause significant worry and concern among our communities, and we’ve had a number of specialist resources in the area since the early hours trying to piece together what happened.
“In the early stages of a murder investigation, enquiries progress at pace as we gather as much information as we can about the incident and who may be involved. Therefore, I want to take this opportunity to urge anyone out there who might know something to come forward.
