Two charged after woman, 30, shot dead outside bar in Sheffield

Two suspects have been charged after a mum-of-one was shot dead outside a city centre bar in Sheffield during the early hours of Bank Holiday Monday.

Shanice Brookes, 30, was rushed to hospital after the shooting at roughly 2.45am but was pronounced dead.

South Yorkshire Police previously said Ms Brookes, who worked for a local charity, was shot outside the One Four One bar in West Street and was an "innocent bystander".

The force has now charged two people over her death.

Jemele Rhone, 30, has been charged with murder, possession of a firearm and possession of criminal property.

Deiryen Dyce, 32, has been charged with assisting an offender, possession of ammunition, possession of drugs with intent to supply, possession of drugs and possession of criminal property.

Both will appear at Sheffield Magistrates' Court later on Friday.

A 30-year-old man arrested in Sheffield on Monday on suspicion of murder has now been released and is no longer being treated as a suspect, police said.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Knowles from the force said: "Shanice was an entirely innocent bystander who should've been able to enjoy a night out in our city without the fear that she wouldn't come home safely.

"Shanice's family, including her young son, now face the harrowing reality that they will never get to see her again."

DI Knowles added officers are still "appealing for anyone with any information to come forward and speak to us".
