Widow's appeal over club murder

Brenda Gordon said her children "were lost" without their father

The widow of a man who was shot dead at a Bradford nightclub said her life had been "frozen" since the killing as she urged witnesses to contact police.

Damian Gordon, 30, who also leaves behind a son and stepson, was shot just outside the Icon nightclub on 3 August.

Police said they were keen to trace a group of men from Manchester who spoke to Mr Gordon in the club.

Mr Gordon's widow Brenda said: "I want everybody to know that my life has been frozen after finding my husband dead."

There is no evidence to suggest this was a targeted attack Det Supt Paul Taylor

At a news conference in Manchester she said: "My kids are lost without their dad.

"We are frozen in a timelessness until someone comes forward and names the person who killed Damian.

"I don't want any other family to suffer like my family have."

Mr Gordon, who was also known as Mikey, lived in the Swain House area of Bradford and was not known to police.

Detectives want a woman who called police to get back in touch

Making a fresh appeal for information, Det Supt Paul Taylor, of West Yorkshire Police, said: "We have information that a group of men from Manchester were in the club at the time and may have spoken to Damian Gordon - we would particularly like to speak to them.

"There is no evidence to suggest this was a targeted attack. He was a married man with a young son.

Police said four people had called them, two with "very, very specific" information about the killer but officers involved in the case still want information from the other 200 people who attended the event.

Mr Taylor added: "There were a lot of people in Club Icon when the shooting happened and I want them to come forward and speak to us.

"We understand a lot of these people had travelled over from the Manchester area that night, and we are particularly appealing for them to come forward so we can eliminate them from our inquiries.

"We are in the middle of tracing those who were at the club using CCTV from the area, but it would be easier if you could come to us."

Mr Taylor said Mr Gordon's death had "destroyed his family and those responsible need to be stopped and brought to justice".

Detectives have also appealed to a woman - thought to be from Manchester - who rang the police anonymously, to get back in touch.
