The shooting happened at the social club of Donegal Celtic Football Club in Suffolk Road.
“The investigation is at a very early stage and I would urge to anyone with information or anyone who was in the Suffolk Road area at the time the shooting took place and seen two men running from the club or who may have captured dashcam footage to contact us on 101 quoting reference number 1120 02/10/22.”“There’s total shock in this community today with the offence that happened in Donegal Celtic today,” he said as he visited the scene.
SDLP councillor Brian Heading has said the local community is in shock after a man was shot dead in west Belfast. “People are rightly concerned at the presence of gunmen on our streets and I would urge anyone who knows anything about this shooting to come forward to police as soon as possible. We need these people apprehended to protect the community and ensure that nothing like this happens again.”
