Police have released footage of the gunman running from the scene after the shooting which killed nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The child was killed in an incident at her home ten days ago. Officers were scrambled to a property on Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot, at 10pm on Monday, August 22 following reports an 'unknown male' had fired a gun inside.
Olivia tragically lost her life. Her mother was badly hurt, as was a man believed to have been the intended target of the attack, who has since been arrested.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, police said they believe that two guns were used in the shooting. They have also released footage of the gunman running from the scene and have appealed once again for anyone with information to come forward.

Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Kameen said: “I’m going to show you some footage of a man that murdered Olivia. I’m doing this because people may recognise what he is wearing, it may also help people remember seeing him in the area on the night that Olivia was murdered and thereby help us trace where he is and where he went.
“This shows the gunman running along Finch Lane away from Kingsheath Avenue, which is, of course, where Olivia lived. We then see him turn right into Berryford Road and go out of sight.
“We know this man is climbing through gardens and through people’s backyards in order to avoid being identified as well as using the roads.”
He added: "We know there will be people shielding him and helping this man avoid being found by the police. If you are found doing this then we will do everything
