WATCH: Police release CCTV footage of suspected gunmen in Warren Crossan murder

By Q Radio News

Police have released new CCTV footage of the suspected gunmen who they believe killed Warren Crossan (28) in west Belfast.

The father-of-two was gunned down on St Katherine's Road in broad daylight on June 27th.    

Detectives have again condemned the 'brutal and callous' murder as they appeal for information. 

Detective Chief Inspector Michelle Shaw the first piece of footage is of the two suspects crossing the junction on the Falls Road that joins the Whiterock Road and St James’s Road at 08.37am on the day of the murder.

She believes the man on the purple coloured mountain bike arrived from the direction of Turf Lodge and turned onto the Whiterock Road just before 8am.

“Approximately 40 minutes later at 8.37am he is seen, along with the second suspect travelling along the Whiterock Road, before they cross over the Falls Road and travel along St James Road where a minute or so later they turn left into St James Crescent. I believe they have come directly from the Whiterock estate area," DCI Shaw explained.  

“They then wait in the vicinity until Warren Crossan arrives at his mother’s house in Rodney Parade at approximately 12.20pm.

"The gunmen then appear on foot from an alley way between St James Road and Rodney Drive and chase Mr Crossan into St Katharines Road where he is shot multiple times and subsequently sadly dies in the street." 

Detectives believe the gunmen then escape on foot via the same alleyway and are appealing to anyone who recognises them to come forward.

“The attack in a busy residential street in broad daylight was simply reckless," DCI Shaw added. 

"These gunmen did not give any thought to the risk posed to local people in this community when they ran through the streets firing shots, at least one of which struck a vehicle owned by a resident.

“I would appeal to anyone who has information about this appalling murder to bring that forward to the police so that we can remove these dangerous gunmen from the streets. I would like to hear from anyone who saw these two men in the area of St James Road, St James Crescent, Rodney Parade and St Katharines Road."

Two men, aged 33 and 45, were arrested yesterday under the Terrorism Act in Belfast and Dunmurry in connection with the murder following searches at two houses in West Belfast.

They were questioned by detectives at Musgrave Serious Crime Suite and have been released unconditionally.

The incident remains under investigation.
