cheap team football jerseys A DEADLY gang feud in Dublin's north inner city claimed its fifth life yesterday when a man was gunned down on a street in broad daylight.
Stephen "Madser" Byrne, 32, is thought to have been related to two other men who have been murdered as part of the vicious feud. Garda suspect Stephen Byrne was killed in a revenge attack for another murder.
It's not the first tragedy to hit Stephen Byrne's family. His brother, David Byrne, 26, was fatally assaulted in Mountjoy Prison in June 2009 in a non feud related attack. It brings to 18 the number of fatal shootings this year, up to 14 of which are considered by garda to be gangland murders.
The feud erupted some six years ago when Christy Griffin, the leader of a major criminal gang, was accused of abusing his partner's daughter. The abuse split the gang, with rival blocks turning on each other.
Griffin, of Canon Lillis Avenue, in the north inner city, was eventually convicted in 2007 of rape and given a life sentence, which he appealed unsuccessfully . Stephen Byrne was shot on a street corner, not far from his home on Sheriff Street in the north inner city just, before 5pm. He was shot twice, once in the head and chest. He was taken to the nearby Mater Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at around 5.30pm.
wholesale nba order basketball jerseys Garda suspect a lone gunman was involved, with unconfirmed reports that he may have escaped on a bicycle. A second individual may also have been involved as a scout. The area was immediately sealed off, pending a forensic and ballistic examination. The State Pathologist's Office was also informed.
Garda sources said they had warned the victim his life was in danger, particularly following the murder of Stephen Ledden in 2006, for which Stephen Byrne was a suspect. Detectives suspect his death may have been in retaliation for that.
