A statement from South Yorkshire Police A murder investigation has been launched following the tragic shooting of a woman in West Street, Sheffield, in the early hours of this morning. We were called at 2.45am today (Monday 25 May) following reports of a shooting outside the One Four One bar in Sheffield city centre. Officers attended the scene and a 30-year-old woman was found with serious injuries. She was treated at the scene by our officers and paramedics before being taken to hospital where she sadly later died. While formal identification is yet to take place, her family has been informed and are being supported by officers at this extremely distressing time. An investigation by our Major Crime Unit is underway and three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident. A 30-year-old man and 32-year-old woman were arrested near Stockport during the early hours of this morning, while a 30-year-old man was arrested here in Sheffield. All three people remain in police custody at this time. Assistant Chief Constable Colin McFarlane said: "This is a devastating incident which has resulted in the death of a young woman while on a night out during the bank holiday weekend in Sheffield. "First and foremost, our thoughts are with her family and everyone who knew and loved her. “Our investigation is being led by our Major Crime Team, and as part of our inquiries, three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder. “A man and woman were arrested near Stockport in Greater Manchester early this morning and a further man has been detained here in Sheffield. “Our officers have been working extremely hard to piece together the events surrounding the shooting. While our investigation is in its early stages, we will continue to have a significant presence at the scene in the area today and in the coming days. “Bank holidays are one of the busiest times of the year, and we know that there were people in the area around West Street and Eldon Street who saw what happened or know who is responsible. If this is you, please share what you know either directly to us, or completely anonymously via Crimestoppers. Now is not the time to stay silent. “Gun crime causes unbearable tragedy and the victim and her family deserve answers. We will work tirelessly to provide these answers and to put those responsible before the courts.” Please quote incident number 135 of 25 May 2026 when reporting online or getting in touch over the phone by calling 101. You can report online here: southyorkshire.police.uk/ro/… We understand that some people may not want to deal directly with police. If this is you, you can report information completely anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on freephone 0800 555 111 or by visiting their website. No details are collected during their confidential reporting service and no one will know you have contacted them.

Today marks 37 years since the Hillsborough disaster at Hillsborough Stadium. Ninety-seven women, men and children lost their lives following the tragedy during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool F.C. and Nottingham Forest F.C. on 15 April 1989. Today, and every day, our thoughts remain with the families, friends, survivors and everyone whose lives were changed forever. The 97 will never be forgotten.
