GARDAÍ investigating the murder of a man in Dublin have appealed to the public to come forward with any information they may have about the incident.
Officers were called to reports of gunshots being fired in in Knocknarea Road, Drimnagh at around 12.15am yesterday morning (May 6).
When they arrived, they found a man with gunshot wounds and two vehicles which had been in a collision.
A pipe bomb was also found at the scene, which was made safe by the army’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team and is still undergoing technical examinations.
The man, who has been named locally as 20-year-old Josh Itseli, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three men have since been arrested, two who are in their early 20’s and a teenager.
All three men are being held at Garda stations in Dublin while the investigation continues.
