Lewis Williams died following a shooting in Mexborough on Monday (January 11).

Mr Williams sadly died after suffering shotgun wounds during the incident on Wath Road, police said.

A post-mortem examination carried out yesterday (January 12) concluded he died as a result of a shotgun wound to his neck and face.

His family members continue to be supported by specially trained officers and have asked for their privacy to be respected at this incredibly difficult time.

A total of five people have so far been arrested as part of the investigation.

A 20-year-old man and two boys, aged 16 and 17, were yesterday arrested on suspicion of murder, along with a 20-year-old man, who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

This morning (January 13), a 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.

They all remain in police custody at this time, police confirmed.
