Two Gunmen Involved In Murder Of Raymond Johnston

Two gunmen were involved in the murder of Raymond Johnston, according to the PSNI.

Mr Johnston, aged 28, was shot in front of his partner and child in the Poleglass area of west Belfast shortly before 8pm on Tuesday, 13 February.

Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Boyce said: "At this stage, we know there were two gunmen.

"I am keen to establish the movements of a dark-coloured car that is suspected to have been involved in Raymond’s murder and anyone who may have seen a man wearing a blue coat with fur around the hood make off from the scene getting into this vehicle.

"I would ask any members of the public who have a dash cam fitted to their vehicle and were travelling on Glenbawn Avenue, Glenbawn Square, Bryanswell Road, Bellsteel Road, Pantridge Road, Stewartstown Road or Colinwell Road between 7pm and 9pm on Tuesday to contact detectives at Musgrave.

"You may have footage that could help us piece together what happened on Tuesday night and lead us to those behind this brutal act."
