Gangland feud suspect gunned down in "callous" shooting outside parents' home mirror.co.uk

A gangland feud suspect was gunned down outside his parents’ home yesterday. David Lynch was shot multiple times in the ruthless attack in the Ronanstown area of Clondalkin, West Dublin, Dublin Live reports. The 42-year-old was in the garden of the house in Foxdene Avenue, where he often stayed, when he was hit once in the head and leg and twice in the neck. Police have said it is too early to speculate on a motive but one theory is the victim may have been involved in the murder of Mark “The Guinea Pig” Desmond. Lynch has also been linked to a bloody gangland feud that has claimed a number of lives in the Clondalkin and Lucan areas. A source revealed last night: “David Lynch was shot outside his house. He was a one-time target of the Criminal Assets Bureau and paid them €160,000 in a settlement. “He was a well-known criminal and had been a prolific car thief back in the early 2000s. “He was suspected of involvement in the drug trade and that’s why the CAB were looking at him. “He was also suspected of some involvement in the murder of Mark Desmond who was killed in a shooting in Griffeen Park.”
