A 28-year-old man was shot dead in St James early yesterday morning. He was identified as Andrew Noel, of Upper Dundonald Hill.
Police said at about 1.30 am, Noel was in a vehicle with other people and driving north along Dundonald Hill when the vehicle was stopped by a group of men who were apparently waiting on the street.
There was a confrontation, during which the men opened fire on the car.
Noel was hit several times and died on the scene. The other occupants escaped unharmed.
The gunmen then escaped.
Police said Noel was not known to them and they believe the intended target of the assailants was one of the other occupants of the vehicle.
