WEST BELFAST, Northern Ireland – A man suspected of involvement in a previous murder has been shot dead in a ruthless and calculated attack in Rossnareen Park in the Greenan area of west Belfast on Tuesday night. Kevin Conway, 30, was killed in the residential area, with police describing the murder as horrific and ruthless.
During court hearings in 2023, it was revealed that Mr. Conway was under threat. The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service was called to the scene just before 21:30 GMT, but Conway tragically died at the scene. Police have set up cordons in the area and have vowed to find the perpetrators responsible for this brutal act.
Speaking at a press conference, Detective Inspector Gina Quinn described the murder as cold-blooded and said Mr. Conway was shot multiple times. The attack was condemned by local politicians, with an increased police presence expected in the area in the coming days.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with several condemning the outbreak of criminality and emphasizing the need to find the perpetrators. The notorious crime gang, known as The Firm, has been implicated in previous murders in the same region. The gang is heavily involved in drug dealing and is made up of individuals with both loyalist and republican backgrounds.
The police investigation will continue, with the goal of finding the killers and bringing them to justice. As the community reels from this brutal attack, the authorities are focused on ensuring the safety and security of the area. The search for answers will be ongoing as the investigation progresses.
