Two men have been arrested in connection with the death of a man in a drive-by shooting in Sheffield.

Shots were fired from a car travelling in the direction of Burngreave Road - the car then sped off towards the Wicker area of the city.

The 42-year-old, who lived in Sheffield but was born in Jamaica, was taken to Northern General Hospital but died during the night.
