A tenth person has been arrested over the death of Ellis Cox.
Detectives are continuing to hunt for the 19-year-old’s killer after he was fatally shot at the Liver Industrial Estate in Aintree on the evening of June 14, 2024.
Merseyside Police confirmed that a 25-year-old man from Liverpool was detained on Thursday morning (July 9) on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.
He is currently in police custody ahead of questioning over the incident. The previous nine people arrested were all released on conditional bail.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve McGrath said: “I hope this latest arrest illustrates how we remain as determined as ever to find the people responsible for the murder of Ellis Cox.
“Even though more that two years have now passed since he was killed, we are still fully committed to getting justice for Ellis’ family.
“Although we have made this arrest, it is vital that anyone who has information comes forward as you could assist our ongoing investigation.”
Crimestoppers is currently offering a £20,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murder.
This was recently extended until October 6 while Ellis’ family has also fundraised and are offering an additional £20,000, making the total amount £40,000.
