Published on Tuesday night, police have said.
Daniel McClean, 54, was shot a number of times while sitting in a parked car on the Cliftonville Road.
In 2019, the victim had been identified in court as being a dissident republican.
Police said his killing was a brutal and calculated murder and officers are keeping an open mind about the motive.
Det Supt Jason Murphy said dissident republican involvement was one line of inquiry.
The shooting was reported to police at about 20:15 GMT and Mr McClean was pronounced dead at the scene.
