Up to £5,000 offered for information on the murder of teenager Raheem Wilks
We are today offering a reward of up to £5,000 for information on the murder of Leeds teenager, Raheem Wilks.
The reward featured on Crimewatch Roadshow is being offered after Raheem, 19, was shot at Too Sharps’s barber shop, in Gathorne Terrace, Harehills, on the afternoon of Thursday, January 26, last year.
He underwent emergency surgery at hospital but was pronounced dead later that day as a result of a single gunshot wound to the chest.
Three men were consequently convicted of his murder, but the weapon has never been recovered, nor has anyone linked to it been convicted.
The gun used to commit the murder is believed to have been a Russian-made Baikal Makarov 9mm pistol or similar.
We are now offering the reward of up to £5,000 for information that leads to the recovery of the weapon and the arrest and conviction of those connected to the weapon or involved in the wider planning of the shooting.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of the weapon involved in Raheem’s murder, please contact us 100% anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through the non-traceable Anonymous Online Form.
*Note: Information passed directly to police will not qualify. The reward will only qualify if information is passed to our 0800 555 111 number or via the non-traceable anonymous online form.

“Raheem’s family have been through so much already, and now we need to find the weapon that is responsible for his murder.
“We need to ensure that a weapon of this nature is found before someone else is hurt. This is why I am asking for the public’s help in giving us the information that could see it recovered.
“I can assure you our charity will never ask any of your details, and no-one will know you spoke to us. So please, tell us what you know, not who you are.”
