Gardaí have renewed their appeal for information after a 55 year-old man was shot dead in Ballyfermot yesterday morning.
Thomas McCarthy was hit a number of times when he answered the front door of his house at Croftwood Park at 11am.
Officers are looking for information in relation to three separate locations and two vehicles which are believed to be involved in the incident;
- Croftwood Park. The location of the house where the fatal shooting took place.
- Le Fanu Drive/Killeen Road. It is believed that a blue Ford Fiesta left the scene of the shooting and travelled to Le Fanu Drive/Killeen Road. This car was found burnt out in the area.
- Monksfield Walk/Monksfield Lawn, Clondalkin. A second car, a Silver Skoda Octavia, was in the area of Killeen Road and travelled to Monksfield Walk/Monksfield Lawn and then may have travelled through Parkwest or New Nangor Road to get to Woodford Estate. The Silver Skoda Octavia was discovered abandoned in Monksfield Walk and was burnt out. It is believed a suspect left the area on foot towards the green area, adjacent to Monksfield Walk.
Gardaí are appealing to any motorist, cyclist or pedestrian who were in any of these areas between 10.30am and 11.30am to come forward.
They would particularly like to speak to anyone with dash cam footage and/or phone camera footage, to contact them at Ballyfermot Garda Station on 01 666 7200, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
