Elle Edwards' sister has paid tribute to her "best friend" and "soul mate".
Elle, 26, was fatally shot at the Lighthouse Inn in Wallasey Village on Christmas Eve. She was not believed to be the intended target of the shooting, in which four other men were also injured.
On Sunday (January 1), Lucy Edwards posted a tribute to her sister on Instagram, featuring photos and videos of the two together. In the caption, Lucy said she will "miss everything about her sister".

She wrote: "I miss you so much sis Elle May…you are and will always be my best friend, side kick, partner in crime, soul mate and big sister. You are beautiful inside and out, you are the kindest person ever and you wanted nothing but the best for me.
"I miss everything about you, especially our daily catch ups, our long drives, we’d blast the music and sing so loud that people in traffic would be laughing at us, but we were always in our own bubble and we didn’t care, and I will miss travelling and seeing new places with you.
"I should not be waking up this morning on New Year’s Day without you, we should be dancing and singing this morning whilst we got ready to go out. We always said 2019 was our best year, but we were so convinced 2023 was going to be the year to top it…You are supposed to be finally living the life you have dreamed of, you had so many plans, hopes and dreams, we had so many plans and it breaks my heart that it has all been taken away because no one else deserved it all more than my Elle.
"I will cherish all of the amazing memories we have made, you will always be with me and I will make you proud! I love you so so much Ell, fly high bbyy".
Yesterday, Merseyside Police released the third person arrested in connection with Elle's murder on bail. Police confirmed on Friday that the 30-year-old man was recalled to prison on licence and is no longer in police custody, while the 19-year-old woman has been bailed.
The murder investigation is ongoing ongoing.
