Arrest Follows Second Murder
There has been an arrest this morning after a bread delivery man was shot dead at a petrol station on the Ennis Road in Limerick.
A 29-year-old man has been held in connection with the murder of the delivery man - believed to have been in his 30s.
Named by RTE as Daniel Tracy, the victim was shot dead as he delivered bread to the station this morning around 6am.
Gardaí initially responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Topaz station and found the dead man when they arrived.
It is understood he was inside the petrol station delivering bread when the shooting took place.
Meanwhile, Gardai investigating the murder of a man in his early 30s yesterday evening have arrested a male in his late 20s.
He is currently being detained at the Bridewell Garda Station under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007.
Gardai are appealing for witnesses or anyone who may have knowledge regarding the incident to come forward.
The shooting took place in a cul-de-sac off Drumalee Avenue, off the North Circular Road near the junction with Aughrim Street.
The victim was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when he was shot a number of times.
A male who was seen running from the scene of the shooting ran from the scene into Drumalee Park and from there may have made his escape either onto Aughrim Street or through Drumalee Court to Prussia Street.
The male is described as follows: between 5’9” and 5’11” in height and of thin build. He was wearing a grey hoodie and either grey tracksuit bottoms or jeans.
Gardai are appealing for people who were in the area at the time or passing through the area to assist them in their investigation.
Bridewell Gardai can be contacted on 01-6668200 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800-666-111.
