The following Text is from BBC NEWS.

An image of Olivia Pratt-Korbel, who was shot dead in her Liverpool home, has been displayed on the big screen at Goodison Park at the Merseyside derby football match.

The nine-year-old was shot and her mother injured after a gunman chased a man into her home on 22 August 2022.

Neither men had links to her family.



A minute’s applause was also held nine minutes into the Everton v Liverpool game and fans sang “Merseyside” in tribute to the youngster.

An anti-knife and gun crime banner was unfurled in the Bullens Road Stand, at the Premier League game, stretching across both Everton and Liverpool supporters.

As well as displaying Olivia’s image on the big screen, it also featured an appeal by Merseyside Police for people with information on the incident to come forward, as well as two other recent fatal shootings in the City.
