A total of three arrests have now been made in the connection of the incident after a 41-year-old man from the Burngreave area was arrested yesterday (December 14) on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident. He also remains in police custody at this time.
DCI Joanne Kemp, Senior Investigating Officer at South Yorkshire Police, said: “We have today made two further arrests in connection to the shooting in Page Hall on Tuesday which tragically led to a young man losing his life. He leaves behind a partner and two young children and had his whole life ahead of him.
“We have now made three arrests in connection with the incident but we still need the public to come forward with information about what happened in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
“We are doing all we can to tackle gun crime in our communities but we cannot do this without the public’s help. Those who choose to carry firearms on our streets are putting innocent, local people in danger and it’s crucial we hunt them down as swiftly as we possibly can. With your information, we can seek justice for victims such as this young man. We will act on all information we receive, and we will support anyone who comes forward and speaks to us.
“Our investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the incident can report it to us by calling 101 and quoting incident number 19 of 12 December 2023. In addition, you can pass information directly to the incident room online. ”
