Belfast Pizza Delivery Shooting Victim Named

A pizza delivery man shot dead outside a Domino's takeaway in Belfast has been named as Kieran McManus, aged 26.

He is understood to have been hit twice during the attack at Kennedy Way in the west of the city on Saturday night.

DCI Karen Baxter from the Police Service of Northern Ireland said: "What we know is that at 11.20pm last night Kieran was with a number of friends when he was shot at short range by what we believe was a lone gunman.

"We are asking for anyone with information, who was in and around the pizza place last night to come forward.

Mr McManus was taken to hospital after the attack but died a short time later.

DCI Baxter added: "Kieran was known to police, however what I would say is that nothing justifies the brutal attack on Kieran and the death of a young man.

"Today we have, on Easter Sunday, a mother mourning the loss of her son and I think this is a very sad state of affairs."

Asked if the shooting could have been a sectarian attack, she said: "We haven't ruled out any motives at this stage, it is much too early."

Police have also appealed for information about a dark red Vauxhall Astra found near the scene.

Paul Maskey, Sinn Fein MP for West Belfast, condemned the perpetrators of the fatal shooting.

He said: "My thoughts are with the family of the young man murdered on Kennedy Way."

 Mr Maskey said: "Those who carried out this shooting should be ashamed of themselves.

"People are shocked that this is the Easter holiday period and people were in good form and someone last night was willing to go out and take the life of another individual."
