More than 50 mobile phones have been seized and forensically examined by detectives investigating a double murder at a Moss Side street party, police have revealed.
And investigators say they remain 'optimistic' more video footage exists they haven't yet seen.
An update on the investigation into the murders of Cheriff Tall, 21, and Abayomi 'Junior' Ajose, 36, was revealed as police confirmed a new senior detective has taken charge of the case.

Both men were both shot in the head during a lockdown party held in a car park off Caythorpe Street, Moss Side, in the early hours of June 21, 2020.
It is believed Mr Ajose, a support worker and father of three, stepped in to help Mr Tall when the latter became involved in an argument with the gunman.
Three gunshot cartridges were found at the scene and both men tragically died shortly after arriving at hospital.
Up to 400 people are thought to have been at the event - including a group from the Birmingham area.
The Manchester Evening News revealed in October last year that police believe the handgun used was supplied on the night.
We reported police have a prime suspect, but he's believed to be on the run.
Inspector Neil Higginson has now been appointed as the new senior investigating officer in the case, GMP said.
In the update, police revealed the investigation so far has seen 10 warrants executed which have led to seven people being arrested and questioned in custody.
A total of 59 mobile phones have also been seized and sent away for forensic analysis.
No one has been charged, but detectives said they would continue to 'persistently piece together all information'
