Cops said the woman was an innocent bystander on a night out to celebrate the Bank Holiday weekend.

Two 30-year-old men and a 32-year-old woman were taken into police custody early this morning where they are currently being held.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Knowles said: “We know there were loads of people in the area, either on a night out or working, who we have yet to speak to – they may have witnessed the incident or something of note beforehand.

“They may be from Sheffield or elsewhere in the country, they may have finished work in the night time economy or be a licensed taxi driver or someone’s lift home.

“If you were in Sheffield in the early hours of Monday, please think back. Please check your photos, social posts, and dash cam for anything which may help us.

“If you weren’t there but want to do your bit to help, please consider sharing this image on your social media channels.

“We need people beyond Sheffield to see it, and we know channels like TikTok and SnapChat could really help us in reaching those who were here for the weekend.”

“Anyone who has any information which may assist us to contact South Yorkshire Police or Crimestoppers, anonymously.”

Assistant Chief Constable Colin McFarlane said yesterday: “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.”
