Summary
- Sam Rimmer was fatally shot by a sub-machine gun four years ago in Dingle.
- Police believe the gang responsible for the murder is still active locally.
- A reward of up to £20,000 is offered for information leading to convictions.
Four years after the unsolved murder of Sam Rimmer, the gang suspected of his death remains active in the Dingle, Liverpool area. Rimmer, 22, was fatally shot by a Skorpion sub-machine gun on August 16, 2022, during an altercation between two street-level drug gangs.
Merseyside Police have arrested 10 individuals but urgently seek crucial witnesses to advance the investigation. Four men on two electric bikes were seen entering the area moments before the shooting. These suspects had reportedly been circling the neighborhood earlier, possibly searching for targets.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve McGrath stated that the individuals directly involved in Rimmer's murder are still engaged in serious criminal activities in and around Dingle. He appealed to those close to the suspects to come forward, assuring them that information can be provided confidentially.
Crimestoppers has doubled its reward to £20,000 for information that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the murder. Rimmer's mother, Joanne, has spoken about the enduring pain of losing her child and her desire for justice to bring closure.
