Fazakerley murder victim Joey Cummins survived previous attempt on life in street shotgun attack - Liverpool Local News - News - Liverpool Echo: "Convicted drug dealer and avid LFC fan Joseph “Joey” Cummins, 25, was fired at in 2009, just a few hundred yards from where he was murdered in Fazakerley on Thursday night.

A passing police patrol found the victim on Longmoor Lane at just before 9pm on Thursday.

It is thought he had been shot in the back several times as he got into the passenger seat of a car after being inside a nearby house.

Bleeding heavily, he then staggered to near the Fazakerley Car Sales garage before collapsing.

Police called for the ambulance which took him to the nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Scores of tearful friends and family descended on the hospital in the hours after his death.

It is thought the gunman could have been on foot and used the heavy fog that covered the area in a grey blanket to hide before springing the attack.

The driver of the car Cummins was getting into has been spoken to by police."
