Innocent man shot dead in Dublin murder linked to feud

Gardaí are investigating reports a gunman shot dead an innocent homeless man in a reckless attempt to murder his intended target.

The attack is being linked to the feud between the Kinahan crime cartel and the Hutch gang, which has claimed five lives, including four in Dublin in 10 weeks.

Yesterday’s target, a senior Hutch figure, is thought to have left a pub onto Lower Sheriff St in Dublin’s north inner city, at the same time as a homeless man was passing.
