£20,000 reward to solve sub-machine gun murder of young Liverpool man
Sam Rimmer was visiting friends on Tuesday 16 August 2022 when he and others left a property after being ‘summoned’ by a bike horn. The incident happened at around 11.40pm.
There were four men on two electric bikes who were waiting outside on Lavrock Bank. As Sam and his associates left the property, the 22-year-old was fatally wounded. He was shot in the back by a bullet fired from a Skorpion sub-machine gun.
Do you know:
- Who was responsible - who fired the gun?
- The names of those on the bikes at the time of the shooting?
- What happened to the firearm that was used, i.e. its location?
***Crimestoppers is supporting the investigation by offering up to £20,000 for information our charity exclusively receives – either here on our website or by calling 0800 555 111 – that leads to the conviction of anyone involved in the murder of Sam Rimmer.***
The reward is available for three months and is due to expire on 3 January 2024.
“Do you know who was involved in the ambush that led to Sam’s death? Despite extensive investigations with ten people being arrested and bailed since, this dreadful murder remains unsolved.
“Our charity knows that some people find it difficult to speak directly to the police. They want to make a difference, but fear of repercussions prevents them from coming forward. This is where we can help.
“Crimestoppers has always kept our promise of anonymity since our charity was formed in the 1980s.
“You can tell us what you know and you’re done. No police, no courts, no witness statements. Pass on what you know via the secure form on our website or speak to one of our specially trained call handlers at our 24/7 UK Contact Centre. You will stay completely anonymous and could be making a difference by helping the family and friends of Sam to see justice.”Gary Murray, North West Regional Manager at Crimestoppers
