Two people arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Kassim Mohammed in Sheffield last week have been released, as investigations continue.

The 22 year old man and 31 year old woman were detained last week on suspicion of murder following the death, which came after an attack on Watery Lane in Upperthorpe on Tuesday night.

In a tribute, Kassim's family said: "Kassim was a devoted young father, a loving son, and a kind family-orientated man, whose caring nature touched everyone around him.

"He will leave a void in our hearts that will never be filled."
