DETECTIVES investigating the circumstances leading up to the death of Mzee Shemar Mohammed-Daley in Liverpool are appealing for witnesses.
Officers want to speak to the individuals pictured in these CCTV stills in the hope they will be able to shed some light on what happened to the 18-year-old.
Lancashire Constabulary has been asked by HM Coroner for Liverpool and The Wirral Mr Andre Rebello OBE to investigate the circumstances leading up to the death of Mzee Shemar Mohammed-Daley in Liverpool City Centre on July 13th 2016.
The constabulary’s review will specifically look into the circumstances under which Mr Mohammed-Daley left his home address in the city; his movements between leaving his home address and arrival at the ‘Chips a gogo’ kiosk at the Liverpool One shopping centre and the activity at the kiosk prior to the arrival of police officers.
We will not consider the actions of police officers and the Independent Police Complaints Commission will continue to lead on this aspect of the investigation
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Brooks, of Lancashire Constabulary’s Force Major Investigation Team, said: “We know of course that Mr Mohammed-Daley’s family must be distraught by what has happened and we recognise the tension this incident has caused within the wider community. What we are trying to do is find out what happened to Mzee on the afternoon of July 13th and we need the community’s help to be able to do that so that we can try to provide his family with the answers they desperately seek.

“I would appeal directly to those people pictured in the CCTV to come forward as they may be able to help us piece together what happened to Mzee. I would also ask anyone who recognises them to contact us.”
Post mortem examination results were inconclusive and further tests are required to establish a cause of Mr Mohammed-Daley’s death.
An inquest has been opened and adjourned.
We continue to keep Mr Mohammed-Daley’s family fully updated throughout our investigation.
Anyone who witnessed anything which could help our investigationor who knows any of the people in the attached stills is asked to contact Lancashire Police on 101 quoting log number LC-20161111-0339 or independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers.org.
