Police are re-appealing for witnesses after the murder of Paul Massey in Clifton.
At 7.30pm on Sunday 26 July 2015, 55-year-old Paul Massey was shot four times outside his home on Manchester Road, in Clifton.
A post-mortem concluded that Paul died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
The investigation is ongoing and police are continuing to appeal for information.
The offender has been described as white and of slim build and was wearing a hat, possibly fisherman style, a face covering, a green or khaki long-sleeved top and combat style trousers tucked into black, lace-up boots. He was carrying a black gun.
Detective Chief Inspector Howard Millington, the Senior Investigating Officer, said: “It has been just over a week since the murder of Paul Massey and our investigation continues to catch whoever did this.
“We are keen to speak to a man who was seen at 7pm on Friday 24 July 2015, in Clifton Country Park.
“He was near to the entrance to Giants Seat Farm about 150 yards before the Giants Seat Garden Centre. He was in what was described as a white Renault Kangoo van.
“The man is described as white, in his late thirties to early forties, about 5ft 10in tall, of average build, with a round face, and was wearing a black hat, black jacket, grey and black camouflage trousers, and was carrying a torch and a gun.
“We are keen to investigate all avenues I would ask the man gets in touch so we can eliminate him from our enquiries.
“We also still want to speak to a girl who may have been a witness to the shooting. She was stood at the bus stop on Manchester Road at the time of the shooting. She is described as about 16-17-years-old, Asian in appearance and of slim build. I would urge her to come forward and talk to us.
“We recognise there has been concern in the community and I want to remind people that we have officers in the area should any residents wish to come and talk to us.
“The key to this murder may lie within the community and I believe someone out there has information that can help our investigation. I understand that people may be reluctant to talk to officers but if you do know something about who may be behind this, please talk to us, in confidence.”
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call police on 0161 856 9775,101, or independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
