Elle Edwards, 26, was shot outside The Lighthouse in Wallasey, Wirral, shortly before midnight on December 24.
She died after the preparator(s) fired several shots toward the pub entrance at about 23:50 GMT on Christmas Eve.
She was shot in the head as she celebrated Christmas with friends, taking her last breath in the hospital.
Authorities believe she was not the intended target of the attack. Daily Mail reports that the innocent beautician was caught in the crossfire and shot ‘after gangster was tipped off about rival drug dealer’ at the pub.
Around 20 members of Ms. Edward’s family attended prayers for her at a catholic church on Saturday, December 31.
They went to Holy Apostles and Martyrs in Wallasey, where prayers were said, and candles were lit for the victim and the community to “come together.”
The church’s Canon Philip Moor, whose nephew and niece were also at the pub at the time of the shooting, stated the community was “extremely shocked.”
“It is saddened, devastated, but I would say the community is hurting at the moment,” he said. “We want to reach out to start the process of healing.”
Two other churches, St Nicholas and Wallasey Village URC, were also open so people could pray for Ms. Edwards and her family.
