A man has been arrested today in connection with the murder of a man in Dublin in February of this year.

The man, who was in his early 30’s, was shot on the evening of February 20 in a cul-de-sac off Drumalee Avenue off the North Circular Road in Dublin. He was discovered in the passenger seat of a car and had sustained a number of gunshot wounds to the chest.

Today, Gardaí have revealed they have arrested a male in his late 20's in connection with the shooting. The man is currently being detained at the Bridewell Garda Station under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007.

Gardai are still appealing for witnesses or anyone who may have knowledge regarding the incident to come forward.

In a Gardaí description of the events, the victim was sitting in the passenger seat of a car when he was shot a number of times. A male was seen running from the scene of the shooting 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 being 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.
