The tragic last moments of a 19-year-old before a fatal shooting have left a family in deep anguish. Ellis Cox was fatally shot by an unidentified group near Taskers, on the Liver Industrial Estate in Liverpool at around 11.10pm on Sunday, June 23 this year. Despite immediate treatment by paramedics and being rushed to the hospital, Ellis succumbed to his injuries. Investigations suggest that Ellis was not the intended target and that the shooting may be linked to a feud between his associates and a rival street gang.
Ellis’ family shared fond memories of him, describing him as kind, strong, and selfless. They highlighted his love for outdoor activities like motocross and camping. Ellis was known for his mature attitude, caring nature, and ambition to travel the world. He had recently started working at a concrete company with his family members. Ellis’ tragic death has left his loved ones heartbroken and searching for justice.
The circumstances leading to Ellis’ death reveal a concerning ‘no grass’ culture hindering the investigation. Ellis’ friends who were present during the incident have remained silent, obstructing the path to justice for his family. The family believes that these friends are equally responsible for not speaking up about what happened that night. The police have made arrests in connection to the case but are still looking for answers from those who were with Ellis at the time of the shooting.
Ellis’ family, devastated by the loss of a young man with so much promise, struggle to come to terms with his untimely death. They believe that the ‘no grass’ culture prevalent in the area is impeding the investigation. Police have appealed for information, promising safety for those who come forward. As the family mourns the loss of Ellis, they are determined to seek justice and closure in the face of their grief.
