Luqman Khan from Bradford is wanted by police in connection with a shooting

Police have released an image of a man they want to trace after another man was shot in the head.

Luqman Khan, from Bradford, is wanted in connection with the shooting, which happened at the junction of Gaythorne Road and Parsonage Road, in West Bowling, just before 23:00 BST on Wednesday.

The victim, a 28-year-old man, remains in hospital with "life-threatening" head injuries, West Yorkshire Police said.

Khan, 24, is believed to have travelled to Suffolk and is thought to be in the Ipswich or Felixstowe areas.

Two men were arrested as part of the investigation into the shooting on Friday.

A man in his 20s was arrested West Bowling on suspicion of assisting an offender, with a vehicle also recovered.

Another man, also in his 20s, was arrested in the Ipswich area on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Det Ch Insp Dan Bates, who is leading the investigation, said: "This was clearly a very serious incident where a man has suffered life-threatening injuries.

"I would like to hear from anyone who knows the whereabouts of Luqman Khan who we urgently want to locate as part of our enquiries."
