Two men have been shot dead in separate incidents in County Dublin in less than 24 hours. On Tuesday night, a man was found dead beside a burning car at Rowans Little in Walshestown, near Balbriggan in north County Dublin. He has been identified as as 22-year-old Seán Little from Coolock in Dublin. It is understood he was known to gardaí (Irish police) because of his links with organised crime. According to Irish broadcaster RTÉ, he was an associate of the leader of a Finglas-based organised crime gang, involved in an ongoing feud with a Blanchardstown drugs gang. He also had close links to the Kinahan crime gang., RTÉ reports. Gardaí said he was shot a number of times before his body was discovered at about 23:20 local time. On Wednesday afternoon, a second man was shot dead on the north side of Dublin. He was killed on Marigold Road in the Darndale area at about 16:00 local time. Initial reports suggest the victim was known to gardaí and that the shooting could be drugs related. However, it is not known if the two deaths are connected.
