Man shot dead tonight

Just spotted this story on rte:

http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/1208/limerick.html

Man in his early 20s shot dead at Bearys Cross on the Tipperary Road tonight. Was heading home at around 22:30 and a number of units the of ERU were outside the two houses just before the turn off at Bearys Cross.

Incidentily I was driving to work this morning and noticed a marked Garda car and Paddy wagen outside one of these houses too.

Saw that earlier and posted it on LB, but thought I was watching TV3.My bad,it read "TV3 news man shot dead in Limerick".If having the station wrong was not bad enough I left out a very important comma.:rolleyes:

According to the Irish Times, the killing is gangland related. Any info on this? I know we can't name names but does anyone know which side of the feud the victim was on?

The car was found burnt out in the Garryowen area of the city if that's any use to you. It seemed to be more people from the Island field side of town that had moved out to the Caherconlish area in recent years. But I could be way off the mark.

Well, RTE says arrests were made after a nearby house was searched...

Why are they so keen to get him anyway?

Limerick Blogger says

"named as Danny Fitzgerald, gang members in custody but not feud related. On the front page of the Leader but no link yet"

Its not the same person shot on Parnell street last year: http://www.limericknewswire.com/2008/01/12/teen-shot-in-limerick-city-attack/

Or Stephen Fitzgerald, the first man gardaí had used a tazer on: http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/0302/fitzgeralds.html

It was Daniel Fitzgerald! http://www.herald.ie/national-news/city-news/dad-shot-dead-as-his-caravan-is-sprayed-with-bullets-1968604.html

Hope you're happy now!

The Gardai have ruled out this being a gangland murder.

If it involved members of a known gang, surely it's gangland related? Or do both sides have to be in gangs for it to be classified a gangland murder?

if thats true i would consider this type of murder far more serious than gangland murders, who cares if the scum kill each other, but cases like this one are very seriuos

So was he mistaken for someone else or was it someone else in the house where he was shot?

Whatv was this about ice creams vans belonging to one crime family

Just to be sure, the family/business which operates the ice cream vans in Limerick and the region have nothing to do with this or any other crime. They are in no way fued related.

The well known family who are suspected to be involved in this murder do own a ice cream van along with a number of other outside catering vehicles, this van was taken by CAB earlier this year but was returned as it was in the name of the wife (or something on those lines)

Members of the Keane/Collopy Limerick criminal gang were among those in custody according to the Irish times

That's not what I mean. A gangland killing means that also the victim was involved in criminality, that was not the case here.

mike kelly

is it true that the cops found the gun used?
