Police investigating the fatal shooting of Ellie Edwards in a pub have released footage of the moment a suspect was arrested.
In the black and white video, several armed officers are seen entering an apartment building from two sides before removing the suspect.
In a new appeal for information, Merseyside Police released the footage in a tweet with the caption: “Watch the moment we make the arrest of a suspect as part of our ongoing investigation into the murder of Elle Edwards in Wallasey on Christmas Eve.
“Our work to keep criminals off our streets will never stop.”

The force is asking people who can assist with the investigation to contact the officers, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Three people have now been arrested in connection with the murder of Mrs Edwards, who was shot dead outside a pub.
Merseyside Police said a 31-year-old man was being questioned over the murder.
Mrs Edwards, aged 26, is not believed to have been the intended target when shots were fired outside the Lighthouse Inn in the village of Wallasey in the Wirral at about 11.50pm.
A 30-year-old man from Tranmere had previously been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder, and a 19-year-old woman from Rock Ferry had been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
Both arrests occurred on Boxing Day.
On Wednesday, police said they had “some tremendous intelligence” but were still searching for the gun that killed Ms Edwards.
Forensic officers remained outside the pub on Wednesday and a security cordon remains outside.
Deputy Chief Constable Ian Critchley said officers would “not rest” until they had done justice for Ms Edwards’ family.
“I continue to plead for information regarding anyone who knows who the person was responsible for pulling the trigger in the most random and outrageous way,” he told reporters.
“Anyone who knows where the weapon is, anyone who has it or has any information at all, we still want to hear from them.”
Police Chief Serena Kennedy had previously pledged a “relentless” search for those responsible for the “brutal and cold-blooded murder” of Ms Edwards.
Merseyside Police renewed their appeal for anyone with information, a dash cam, surveillance camera or mobile phone footage to come forward on Wednesday.
Police said in their appeal to the public for information.
The friends told Sky News they were dancing and enjoying a night out when everything changed “in a split second”.
Meg and Jess, who did not give their surnames, told Sky News they thought the gunshots they heard were fireworks until they saw their friend lying on the ground.
“We went out for a drink and we were at the bar and we just heard a bang,” Jess said.
“The second time I heard Elle, I was like, ‘It’s not, it’s not, it’s not.'”
“I could see her on the ground, and the people around her trying to help her.
“You just feel hopeless, you can’t help it, you can’t do anything.”

Ms. Edwards’ sister, who lives in Dubai, had left the place earlier.
“It’s on your mind, figuring out if she should come home,” Meg said, adding, “We’ve been dancing and singing and now she’s on the floor.”
Members of the Wirral community also honored Mrs. Edwards.
Wirral Borough Council chairwoman Janet Williams said the “most heartbreaking aspect” was that she was not the intended target of the attack.
