Three Liverpool men arrested in connection with the murdyer of Thomas Baker have been bailed.
The suspects, two aged 29 and one aged 32, were questioned by detectives on suspicion of murdering the Everton dad in January.
They have now been conditionally bailed pending further enquiries.
Mr Baker, 44, was shot dead in a shocking early morning attack as he left a gym in the Stanley meat market complex off Prescot Road.
It is thought his assassin was in a small grey car parked alongside Mr Baker’s BMW, lying in wait for his return.
The cold-blooded killing was the first of two gun murders on Liverpool’s streets within a week.
Merseyside Police are continuing to issue an appeal for anyone with information about the murder to come forward.
Detective Chief Inspector Bev Hyland said: “It is more than three months since Thomas Baker was murdered and I would like to take this opportunity to continue to appeal for anyone who may be able to help us with our inquiries to come forward.
“CCTV footage obtained by detectives following the murder revealed that those responsible for the murder were in a silver VW Polo. We are appealing for anybody who has information in relation to the vehicle to contact the inquiry team.
“Following the shooting the car, which had its number plates obscured, left the car park of the gym and turned right onto Prescot Road heading towards the city.
It travelled along a number of roads including Balmoral Road, Molyneux Road and Queens Road.
It is believed that the car left the scene at speed and motorists may have had to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
“I am also keen to speak to anyone who was at the Stanley Road Meat Market on the morning, as information they have could be vital to our inquiries.
I believe that we may have captured some people on the CCTV footage who still haven’t come forward to speak to us and I would urge them to get in touch.
They may not think that what they saw on the morning would be of any significance, but they could have information which is key to our inquiries.”
