A 28-year-old ‘beautiful’ and ‘lovely’ council worker who was shot dead in the back garden of a house in a ‘very shocking incident’ has been pictured for the first time.
Council worker Ashley Dale was gunned down outside the property in the Old Swan area of Liverpool shortly after midnight yesterday. No arrests have yet been made.
Thugs are thought to have burst through the door of her £70,000 three-bedroom terraced home, where she ‘lived largely on her own’, and sprayed bullets inside.
Police were called by concerned neighbours reporting the sound of what they thought were gunshots or fireworks, and found Miss Dale in the back garden.
Merseyside Police believe the property was purposefully targeted but Miss Dale was not the intended victim. She was treated at the scene but died later in hospital.
It comes seven years after her own brother Lewis Dunne was shot dead aged 16 by a gang who mistook him for a rival, but her death is said to be unrelated to this.
