Gardaí are renewing an appeal for information on the murder of Gavin McCarthy on the seventh anniversary of his death.
21-year-old Mr McCarthy was gunned down on Sunday October 19th 2008 while standing outside a fast food outlet on Lower Sheriff Street in Dublin.
He was with his brother, Daniel, and others when he was approached by a male on a bicycle at around 9.00pm - who fired a handgun at close range into his face and upper body.
The man fled the scene, via Crinan Strand, through a lane running between the Sheriff Football Club and the artificial football pitch beside it, onto Commons Street, turning left in the direction of North Wall Quay and the IFSC.
Gavin left behind his parents, two sisters and two brothers - one since deceased.
Investigating gardaí believe that persons within the North Wall community and in possession of specific information are in a position to move enquires forward.
In particular, they are appealing to those who were not in a position to give information at the time, due to relationships and associations they had seven years ago, but who may now feel more at ease in coming forward.
Anyone with information should contact Store Street garda station on 01-666-8000 or the Garda Confidential Line at 1800-666-111.
