Gardaí have freed a 20-year-old man who was arrested this week in connection with the murder of a man in Tallaght in January.
Stephen O’Halloran was shot in the head as he sat in the driver’s seat of the car outside his mother and stepfather’s home in Kilmartin Drive, Tallaght on the night of Monday, January 19th.
Two men, both believed to have been armed with 9mm handguns, walked up to the car and fired a volley of rounds into it. Mr O'Halloran died at the scene.
Two other men who were in the car at the time tried to run from the gunmen but as they fled they were shot in the upper body.
Three men were arrested earlier this week in connection with the attack.
One was freed today. Gardaí said a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. The other two men remain in custoday.
