Detectives have reopened a murder investigation, 35 years after the fatal shooting of a man in Southampton.
Richard Haywood, known as Ricky, was killed in his flat above Ambiance Jewellers on Shirley Road in October 1989.
Hampshire Constabulary said it was reviewing the evidence with the benefit of advancements in forensic science.
In a statement, Mr Haywood’s sister said she was hoping for “justice and closure”.
Mr Haywood, aged 36, was shot numerous times at close range in the attack
To date, no one has been charged with the murder.
Det Insp Elizabeth Brunt renewed an appeal for information about his death.
“I believe someone knows why Ricky was killed and who was responsible. Whatever your allegiances, you would be doing the right thing by telling us what you know.”
We need to give his family the answers they rightly deserve, to get justice for them and for Ricky.
“Your help is needed and now is the time to communicate what you know, either directly, anonymously or through a third party – doing nothing is no longer an option.”
The Crimestoppers charity said it was offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information given exclusively that leads to the arrest, charge and conviction of anybody responsible for the murder.
In 2004, Mr Haywood’s mother Phyllis put up a reward of £100,000 but died without seeing anyone convicted of her son’s murder.
In a statement issued via police, Mr Haywood’s sister said his death continued to have a “huge impact” on the family.
“The pain never goes away. My mum never had peace and it slowly ate away at her, she went to her grave never knowing who committed this awful crime.
“We pray this new appeal will urge someone to come forward and hopefully after all these years find justice and closure,” she said.
