Police have released new images showing vehicles and people in and around Stapleton Road in Bristol at the time Rico Gordon was shot and killed following St Paul's Carnival.

Two men have been charged with murder in connection with the death of the 21-year-old, who was from London, on Sunday 3 July 2011.

Meanwhile, officers investigating the case continue to work closely with his family, the Metropolitan Police and Operation Trident.

The CCTV images include a white Vauxhall Combo van which is believed to have been parked near to the scene at the time of the shooting and then drove away soon afterwards. The van has a non-standard sticker or logo on the bottom right of the rear doors.

Police are urging the occupant(s) to come forward in the belief that they may have vital information to assist the investigation.

There are also a number of new images which show people that officers are keen to identify.

Detective Superintendent Sue Scott said: "Rico Gordon lost his life needlessly and we are committed to bringing those responsible for his death to justice.

"We know the area was very busy at the time due to parties taking place following the carnival.

"We believe there are still a number of witnesses or people with valuable information we have not yet spoken to.

Anyone with any information on Rico's murder can contact the Operation Baron incident room on 101 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.
