Earlier this year, police released CCTV footage of Mark's final movements.

“The footage shows Mark’s last movements, as he made his way towards the family home in Rodney Drive," said DCI McGuinness.“It also shows two gunmen arrive at St James’s Crescent in a light-coloured saloon car, with a taxi sign on top. 

"The pair get out of the rear passenger-side door of the car, and head to an alleyway leading to Rodney Drive.“It’s here, at a house with family members present, that the harrowing event took place. This was a cruel attack, which has left loved ones bereft, and indeed a whole community united in shock.“I am keen to jog memories, and am appealing to anyone with information to please do the right thing and come forward. I am particularly interested in locating the vehicle used by the gunmen.
