Dublin

Josh Itseli (20) was shot in the head with an AR-15 rifle on Knocknarea Road earlier this month

Gardaí have issued an appeal for two taxi drivers to come forward who may have been witnesses to a fatal shooting in Dublin last week.

Itseli , the Irish-born son of immigrants from Democratic Republic of Congo, was a small-time drug dealer aligned to a drug gang in south-central Dublin. Gardaí are now looking for two taxis – one was a dark-coloured saloon taxi which drove on Knocknarea Road, towards the junction with Mourne Road in Drimnagh, between 12am and 12.10am.

Gardaí are also continuing to appeal for information in relation to a black Talaria Sting electric motorbike which is understood to have been used in connection with this incident. The electric motorbike was observed in the vicinity of Dolphin Road, Crumlin Road and Davitt Road on Sunday night, May 5th and into the early hours of Monday morning May 6th.
