CCTV: Are these the killers of Leeds ‘mistaken identity’ victim Adam Chadwick?

Four years after the fatal shooting of a young father detectives yesterday released previously unseen CCTV footage and said they remained determined to get justice for his family.

Adam Chadwick, 20, who had a young daughter, Ruby, was visiting his sister at Clifton Mount in Harehills, Leeds, on June 24 2008 when a woman and three men came to the door at 10.40pm and, following a disturbance, he was shot. He died two days later.

West Yorkshire Police previously said Mr Chadwick, of Seacroft in Leeds, could have been mistaken for another man.

Detective Superintendent Mark Ridley, who is leading the hunt for his killers, yesterday called for help to catch those responsible, saying: “His family deserve to know the truth and see those responsible for Adam’s murder brought before the courts.”

Detectives yesterday released previously unseen CCTV footage showing a Ford Focus C-Max, believed to have been used by the four, being stolen from a 48-year-old woman at Oatland Heights in Little London, Leeds, on June 11.

They also released footage that is thought to have captured the woman who knocked on the door of the Clifton Mount home shortly before Mr Chadwick was shot and the moments before the dark blue Ford Focus C-Max was abandoned near Reginald Street, Chapeltown.

The woman is known to have been knocking at other nearby doors before the shooting asking for someone called “Michelle.” She is described as white, in her late 20s, 5ft 5in with dark brown hair and olive skin.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the West Yorkshire Police homicide and major enquiry team by calling 101.
