Police are searching for a gunman after a man was shot in Edgerton on Friday night.
West Yorkshire Police are now hunting for a black car, with officials noiting that, “Enquiries suggest suspects have attended Queens Road in a dark ’10 plate’ people carrier-type vehicle, which is thought to have been either a Nissan Qashqai or a Juke.”
A suspect is understood to have excited the car and shot the man at close range, before returning to the car and driving off to A629 Edgerton Road.
Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle said: “We realise that an incident of this nature will cause shock to the local community, and the wider Huddersfield area.
“A full investigation has been launched into this incident, and we are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed what happened to contact us.
“We would also like to hear from anyone who saw the people carrier-type vehicle in the Edgerton area at around this time, or anyone who may have captured footage of this vehicle on their CCTV or dash cam.
“Patrols have been increased in the Queens Road area to provide reassurance to residents and anyone with concerns or information is asked to speak with our attending officers.”
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team on 101 or by using the live chat here on the West Yorkshire police website.
