A 27-year-old man was shot in the incident close to the junction of Aldborough Road South, Meads Lane and St Johns Road on September 21.
He is still in hospital in a “serious but stable condition”.
The car he was travelling in with several others had been chased by a motorbike before a man from the bike shot at the car.

“Or do you know anyone who has recently tried to sell or dispose of this bike? This incident has left a young man seriously ill in hospital where he is likely to remain for some time. Can you help?”
