PSNI Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell said: “Yesterday, Thursday 19 January, was one week on since Shane was brutally murdered. He had been shot a number of times, including once in the back.
“This was a cowardly attack, which has taken a man’s life and left a family truly heartbroken. It leaves four children without their father."
He continued: “Our officers revisited the scene yesterday evening. We’ve been speaking with pedestrians, drivers and passengers, and have carried out extensive house-to-house enquiries.
“Our investigation continues, and I am reiterating our appeal for anyone with information to come forward. Please contact us on 101.
“I’m also keen to highlight the reward of up to £20,000 from Crimestoppers, who are a charity and independent of the police. The reward is offered for information given directly to Crimestoppers that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Shane’s murder. Importantly, information can be given with 100% anonymity.”
Contact Crimestoppers on freephone 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
