On the 6th anniversary of the death of Gavin McCarthy investigating Gardaí at Store Street wish to renew their appeal for any member of the public with information in relation to the murder to bring those details to the attention of An Garda Síochána.
On the evening of Sunday, 19th of October 2008 coming up to 9pm Gavin was in the company of others standing outside a fast food outlet on Lower Sheriff Street. Having come out of the Chinese Take Away, he was approached by a male on a pedal cycle. The culprit fired a handgun from close range into Gavin’s face and upper body causing him to fall immediately to the ground. The perpetrator then 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 was just 21 years of age at the time.
Investigating Gardaí believe that persons living within the North Wall Community may now be in a position to assist with the investigation.
Gardai wish to appeal for witnesses or to anyone who can assist with this investigation to contact Store Street Garda Station on 01 6668000, The Garda Confidential Telephone Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
