The 19 year old was found with fatal injuries after being shot on the Liver Industrial Estate
Ellis Cox's loved ones have left floral tributes to the teenager near to where he was shot on Sunday night.
This evening, several bouquets of flowers were spotted tied to a blue railing on the Liver Industrial Estate near Taskers. A card was attached to the flowers with the words, 'there's a brand new star in heaven' written on it. He added: "Ellis was close to his family. We know his mum and dad are absolutely devastated by his murder, as are other family and friends in the area."
A second woman - a mum who knows Mr Cox's family personally - added: "I just couldn't believe when I heard. None of the family has ever been in trouble. They're not like that. Everybody round here is devastated by what happened. They're a lovely family with really well brought up kids."
