Drug dealer gunman shot in gangland killing

GARDAÍ last night launched a murder inquiry after organised crime claimed its latest victim.

The body of Shay Bradley, 27, who was known to gardaí as a drug dealer and gunman, was discovered shortly after midday in a Dublin laneway off Blackhorse Avenue in Cabra, near the Phoenix Park.

It was the second violent killing in the capital in less than a week. On Sunday last, Donna Cleary, a woman in her 20s, was gunned down in her home in the Coolock area.
