Two men and two women who were accused of helping the gunman who murdered Elle Edwards have been found not guilty of assisting an offender.
Connor Chapman fired a sub-machine gun outside the Lighthouse pub in Wallasey Village in Wirral, as part of a gang feud on Christmas Eve 2022.
Ms Edwards, 26, an innocent bystander, was killed and five men were injured.
Jurors at Liverpool Crown Court cleared Roxanne Matthews, Danielle Dowdall, David Chambers and Paul Owen of helping Chapman avoid arrest and hide evidence after a four-week trial.
Ms Dowdall and Ms Matthews sobbed and hugged in the dock after the jury returned its verdicts after six hours and 20 minutes of deliberations.
