Police want information about a blue Citroen van as investigations continue into the shooting of a man in a Birkby street.
Emergency services were called to Arnold Street in the early hours to reports a man had been shot.
Vajid Karim, 32, was shot by a masked gunman at 4.40am on Friday, June 8 . He suffered serious wounds to his leg and needed first aid in the street.
A neighbour, Muhammad Baig, 23, also of Arnold Street, has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Now police have issued an appeal over a blue Citroen Berlingo van with the registration number Y342 VSB.
Officers issued an image which appeared to show the van for sale online for £299.
The van was seen in the Arnold Street and Wheathouse Road area of Birkby before being found abandoned in Blackmoorfoot Road, Crosland Moor.

“In particular, I would be keen to speak to anyone who has any information about who had access to it.”
