Gardaí have begun a murder investigation after a Dublin man was shot dead in a housing estate in Ballymun on the north side of the city.
The victim, who was in his 40s, was fatally wounded in a gun attack which bore all the hallmarks of a gangland incident.
Gardaí were called to the scene on Belclare Drive, Ballymun, at about 9pm amid reports a man had been shot and critically wounded.
âThey are particularly appealing to those with camera footage from the area at the time of the incident â including dash-cam and mobile phone footage â to make it available to them.
Gardaà believe at least five shots were fired during the attack and were still trying to establish an exact motive, though they believe it was linked to a local dispute. It was unclear how the killer or killers arrived at the crime scene and fled after the killing. The murder was being investigated by Ballymun gardaÃ.
