The family of Ellis Cox has renewed their desperate plea for information on what would have been his 21st birthday. Merseyside Police are still determined to catch those behind the tragic murder.
Young Man Shot Dead in Aintree
Ellis, just 19, was fatally shot on Sunday 23 June 2024 at the Liver Industrial Estate in Aintree. Despite investigations, no one has yet been charged in connection with his death.
Heartbreaking Tribute from Family
In a moving tribute on Sunday 18 January, Ellis’s family said the milestone birthday should have been a time of celebration— but instead remains one of loss and heartbreak. They said:
“Our beautiful Ellis. He was full of life. He was grateful for everything and everyone and had such big dreams. He wanted to travel, see the world and experience all life had to offer. He loved people and people loved him.”

“His humour, his beautiful heart and his swagger meant everyone wanted to be his friend. He welcomed everyone in.”
The reward stands until Monday 6 April 2026. Anyone with information can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
