A 24-year-old man has been charged with the murder of Tyrone Gilbert, 23, who was shot at a wake for his friend.

Mr Gilbert, a father-of-three, was shot on 27 July while attending the wake in Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester. He died later in hospital.

Aeeron Campbell, of no fixed address, has also been charged with conspiracy to murder and attempted murder, as well as other offences.

He is due to appear before Manchester City Magistrates' court on Saturday.

Mr Campbell has also been charged with conspiracy to possess a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession with intent to supply heroin and possession of heroin.

A second 24-year-old who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been released without charge.

Mr Gilbert had been attending a wake for Ucal Chin who lived in Frobisher Close and who was killed in a drive-by shooting in June, when he was shot.

A Home Office post-mortem examination showed Mr Gilbert died from a bullet wound to the chest.

A 33-year-old man who was also at the scene was taken to hospital with bullet wounds after the shooting and was later discharged after receiving treatment.
