Kevin was shot in the back with a single bullet from a 9mm Russian Baikal automatic pistol and left to die on Wavertree Street, Liverpool.
Detectives believe he was lured to the scene and are still “determined” to find the culprit and bring justice to Kevin’s loved ones, reports The Liverpool Echo.
They are urging for anyone with information to come forward as “there are people out there who know exactly what happened.”

Head of the Serious Crime Review Unit, Kevin Clague, said: “Although ten years have now passed since Kevin’s murder, we are still determined to find his killer.
“This was a cruel and senseless crime that left a family devastated and they are still looking for answers a decade later.
“We understand that with every year that passes, Kevin’s family have still not had the justice they deserve.
“We know the answers to solving this and bringing the killer to justice lies within our communities and I would ask that people put themselves in the shoes of Kevin’s family.
“How would they feel if they knew their loved one’s killer was still free and walking the streets?
“There are people out there who know exactly what happened on that night and we need them to find the courage and do the right thing by coming forward and speak up.
“You may have previously felt unwilling to come forward but as the years go by, allegiances change, people move away and may now feel more comfortable coming forward.
“Any piece of information could be the key to progressing this investigation, however trivial you think it may be.
“We know that people can be reluctant or fearful in coming forward, but please be rest assured there are special measures that we can put in place to protect witnesses.
