Police continue hunt for brother of New Year’s party shooting victim

DETECTIVES were yesterday continuing to hunt for the brother of one of two teenagers shot dead outside a New Year’s party.

Police are understood to be looking for Marcus Ellis, although it is not clear whether officers regard him as a witness or a suspect in the murders of 17-year-old Letisha Shakespeare and Charlene Ellis, 18.

It is believed the 23-year-old was a member of the Burger Bar Boys, one of the Birmingham-based gangs whose violent clash with rivals the Johnson Crew left the teenagers dead.
