An appeal has gone out for witnesses following the murder of a man in Manchester.

Mohammad Iqbal Shaheen was shot at the Olympic taxis office in Chorlton.

Mohammed was working at Olympic Taxis, a business he co-owned, on Keppel Road at 4.40pm on Friday 23 September 2005, when a man entered the business premises and shot him once in the chest.

He was treated at the scene before being taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary, where he died as a result of his injuries.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who was in the Keppel Road/Wilbraham Road area on that afternoon, in particular a member of the public who may have seen the offender as he ran from the scene.

The offender is described as an Asian man in his late twenties/early thirties, approximately 5ft 7 to 5ft 8in tall and of medium build. He had dark hair and was wearing dark clothing and a dark hood or hat.

The man was seen running away from the scene on foot and it is believed he may have made his way towards the trading estate on Albany Road.

Anyone who has any information that will assist in tracing these two men, or that will assist the investigation are asked to contact the Incident room at Pendleton Police Station on 0161 856 5448 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
