Overview

• Morgan shot Lenny Scott outside a Skelmersdale gym on 8 February 2024, hitting him once in the head and five times in the body before fleeing on an electric scooter.
• Detectives pieced together CCTV, phone records and vehicle data showing reconnaissance and stalking of Scott’s routine in the weeks leading up to the killing.
• A nine-week trial at Preston Crown Court ended with Morgan’s conviction, while co‑defendant Anthony Cleary, 29, was acquitted of murder and manslaughter.
• The handgun used has not been found; Morgan later handed himself in, denied involvement and was initially bailed as investigators built the case.
• Scott’s relatives gave powerful victim statements as police described the shooting as a cold‑blooded assassination of a man who upheld prison rules.
