Jason Osu shooting: Merseyside Police investigate fresh leads 

A businessman caught in a crossfire of bullets fired by two assassins lurking in the darkness has died in hospital.

Jason Osu was blasted in the face, skull, chest and arms by gunmen at least five times as he sat in his Mercedes outside his £350,000 home in Wavertree in Liverpool.

The 31 year-old currency trader sat helplessly as his killers fired numerous shots though the passenger window and the driver's side.

Mr Osu was left with multiple gun shot wounds and clung to life for seven days before succumbing to his injuries at 12:45am on Monday.

A post mortem will be carried out to establish a cause of death.

A murder inquiry was launched today after a man died almost a week after he was shot while sitting in his car outside his home. 

 Jason Osu, 31, suffered multiple gunshot injuries in the attack on his driveway in Liverpool, last Monday night.

The amateur pilot was taken to hospital but died in the early hours of today, Merseyside Police said.

A post-mortem examination will be carried out to establish the cause of death.

Merseyside Police's Major Investigation Team is leading the investigation, working alongside the force's dedicated gang crime unit, Matrix.

Detective Superintendent Mike Shaw said: 'This was a brutal murder where a man has been targeted outside his home.

'It happened very close to Queens Drive, one of the city's major roads, at a very busy time and we are hoping that there are people out there who may have seen something.'

Detectives are looking for two men who may have been waiting in Beauclair Drive, in Wavertree, for up to 40 minutes before they opened fire on Mr Osu.
