The Senior Investigating Officer Detective Chief Inspector Karen Baxter said: "At around 11:20pm an armed man got out of a car and shot Kieran a number of times at close range as he was placing a pizza delivery into the rear of his car. The man got back into the car before making off from the scene. A maroon coloured Vauxhall Astra believed to be linked to the murder was found burned out a short time later in the Denewood Park area of the city.
"We are specifically appealing for anyone who may have been in the area around this time and who may have witnessed any specific activity or vehicles in the area. We are particularly appealing for anyone who may have witnessed a maroon coloured Vauxhall Astra car seen leaving the area around the time of the murder or who may have seen it in the Denewood Park area.
"What happened in Kennedy Way last night was a brutal and ruthless attack which has no place in society. We are keeping an open mind to the motive at this time and we are working on a number of lines of enquiry."
