A fifth person has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in Tallaght on Friday night.
Séamus O’Byrne (27) was shot in the Tymon estate in Tallaght, west Dublin, in a killing that has been linked to a feud between rival drug gangs in the Crumlin and Drimnagh.
Mr O'Byrne and his partner were sitting in a car outside a house at Tymon North Park at about 8.30pm when a gunman approached their vehicle and opened fire with a handgun. It is believed that the dead man was shot in the back as he ran away from the gunman.
A 26-year-old woman was also shot in the leg during the attack. A gun was recovered from the scene.
A 31-year-old man was arrested this afternoon. He is being questioned under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act at Tallaght Garda station.
Four other people, including a 16-year-old girl, were released last night following questioning in connection with the murder. Files are being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Eight people have died in gangland killings in Dublin so far this year.
