Detectives seek a hooded person seen on CCTV, urging information uploads to a dedicated online portal.

Overview

  • A post-mortem confirmed Gray was shot, and detectives believe he was killed late Sunday or early Monday before being found at his Shields Court flat.
  • Police want to trace a hooded figure seen between 10:15pm and 10:45pm on Sunday in the Shields Court area and are asking for CCTV or dash-cam footage via the Major Incident Public Portal, 101 quoting reference 2147, or Crimestoppers.
