Drimnagh murder victim Josh Itseli (20) was shot by assailants in passing car which then crashed

A young man has been shot dead in Dublin in an attack bearing hallmarks of a gangland murder in what would be the first such killing in the Republic this year.

church was also sealed off as a crime scene as the getaway car used by the killers was left abandoned there. “It’s desperate to hear of a young fella being killed like this. And you’d never hear things like that the last few years. It all seemed to have completely quietened down.” An examination of the scene led to the discovery of an explosive device on nearby Knocknarea Court, with residents evacuated and the Army’s explosive ordinance disposal team called in. That device was made safe at the scene and is undergoing technical examination.

“I was talking to residents this morning and they had their Bank Holiday weekend shattered by gunfire – the noise of a lot of gunfire here last night – and we wake up this morning to the news that this man had his life taken away as the result of gun crime.”
