Grieving Mother Issues Pre-Christmas Plea in Unsolved Killing of Ellis Cox

Six arrests have brought no charges, with limited evidence slowing the case.

Overview

  • Ellis Cox, 19, was shot in the back on June 23, 2024, near the Liverpool Loop Line as he tried to cycle away from assailants.
  • Police say one to three males on two electric bikes approached his group around 10:50 p.m. and one attacker fired three shots.
  • Detectives report no usable CCTV from the scene because the path is dimly lit and overgrown, reducing potential witnesses late at night.
  • His mother, Carolyn Cox, released a heartfelt letter ahead of a second Christmas without her son, renewing the call for information.
  • Merseyside Police urge tips via a dedicated submission page, @MerPolCC or 101, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting 24000554719.
