Police have launched an appeal to trace a Bradford man in connection with an alleged firearms incident that left a man with life-threatening head injuries.
Detectives from the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team are looking to locate 24-year-old Luqman Khan, of Bradford, as part of their ongoing investigation into the shooting, which took place on the night of Wednesday, 8 July.
Khan, who is described as an Asian male, is believed to have travelled to Suffolk and is thought to be in either the Ipswich or Felixstowe area.
Emergency services were called to Gaythorne Road, at the junction with Parsonage Road in West Bowling, at around 10:57pm following reports that a man had suffered a gunshot wound to the head.
The victim, a 28-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious head injuries and remains in a life-threatening condition.
As part of the investigation, officers have arrested two men on suspicion of assisting an offender.
One man, aged in his 20s, was arrested in West Bowling, Bradford, where officers also recovered a vehicle during the enquiry.
A second man, also aged in his 20s, was arrested in the Ipswich area on the same suspicion.
Enquiries remain ongoing as detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting and efforts to locate Luqman Khan continue.
Detective Chief Inspector Dan Bates of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, who is leading the investigation, said: “This was clearly been a very serious incident where a man has suffered life-threatening injuries.
“I would like to hear from anyone who knows the whereabouts of Luqman Khan who we urgently want to locate as part of our enquiries.
