Shot man may have been targeted by dealer
Brendan Cox, aged 40, died almost instantly after receiving two blasts from a shotgun to his lower back in the Ballyfermot area of South Dublin on Sunday. His assassin callously gunned the father-of-two down just yards from where a number of children were playing on Clifden Drive in Cherry Orchard at around 7.15pm.
Mr Cox, who lived in nearby Cleggen Road, was walking his dog when targeted.
