A reward of up to £20,000 has been offered for information in the hunt for a killer who shot a young father dead in “cold blood”.

Jordan Gray, 26, was killed at his home in Shields Court, in the town of Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, on Sunday 14 December.

His body was discovered the following day.

Sky News understands a shotgun was used in the shooting.

Crimestoppers said despite weeks of extensive enquiries, the firearm is yet to be recovered and the killer remains at large.

The charity is now offering a reward of up to £20,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the fatal shooting.

Door-to-door enquiries have taken place and more than 1,200 hours of CCTV footage has been gathered in the hunt for the killer.

Investigating officers remain keen to identify a person spotted in Shields Court shortly after 10.30pm on the day of the shooting, who was said to be wearing a dark jacket with the hood up and dark trousers.

Angela Parker, national manager for Scotland at Crimestoppers, said: “This was a shocking act of violence that took the life of a young man in his own home and left a community fearful and grieving.

“We know that some people are reluctant to speak directly to the police, but Crimestoppers offers an alternative, completely anonymous way to share what you know.

“You will never be asked for your name or personal details, and your identity will never be revealed.

“What you tell us could bring justice for Jordan, his family, and the community. Even the smallest piece of information could help find those responsible for Jordan’s death.”

At a Police Scotland news conference last week, Mr Gray’s mother Lynn Gray and stepfather Michael Groome said their son had been murdered in “cold blood”.

Mr Groome said: “We are devastated by our loss. His sisters and wee brother are struggling to understand how someone could do this to their big brother.

“Jordan’s baby will have to grow up without knowing how much his dad loved him.”

He added: “Help us stop them from doing this to someone else and leaving another family heartbroken.”

Those with information can submit details to the police inquiry team via an online portal. However, to access the cash reward, the information must be passed directly to Crimestoppers.

Detective Superintendent Grant Hendry said: “I’d like to express my thanks to Crimestoppers for this reward. I hope it will encourage anyone with information on who is responsible to come forward.

“We know people may be reluctant to talk to the police. The charity is independent and can pass this anonymous information to us to allow officers to fully investigate and take action.

“Please contact Crimestoppers exclusively if you think you can help.”
