Details of Incident
The family of the woman tragically fatally shot outside a bar in Sheffield city centre have named her as 30-year-old Shanice Brookes and paid tribute to the much-loved-mum-of-one.
Shortly before 2.45am on Monday 25 May, Shanice was outside of One Four One bar on West Street when she was senselessly shot during an incident to which she was simply an innocent bystander.
We attended the scene and Shanice was treated by our officers and paramedics before being taken to hospital, where she very sadly died.
Following formal identification, Shanice's family have paid tribute to her. Shanice lived in Sheffield where she worked for a local charity and was in the process of completing a university degree.
Detectives are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who saw a white Audi in the area or a disturbance nearby. The car is shown in the CCTV image, parked at the junction of Eldon Street and West Hill Street - opposite Tesco Express.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Knowles, the Senior Investigation Officer, said: "We know there were loads of people in the area, either on a night out or working, who we have yet to speak to - they may have witnessed the incident or something of note beforehand.
"They may be from Sheffield or elsewhere in the country, they may have finished work in the night time economy or be a licensed taxi driver or someone's lift home.
"If you were in Sheffield in the early hours of Monday, please think back. Please check your photos, social posts, and dash cam for anything which may help us.
"If you weren't there but want to do your bit to help, please consider sharing this image on your social media channels. We need people beyond Sheffield to see it, and we know channels like TikTok and SnapChat could really help us in reaching those who were here for the weekend."
