CCTV released by police shows west Belfast man Mark Hall just before he was shot and fatally wounded when two gunmen fired shots at his family home.
The 31-year-old was shot through a window of his Rodney Drive home in front of his family by two gunmen on December 18.
Detectives from the Police Service’s Major Investigation Team investigating the murder have released CCTV footage and are asking for help from the public.
The footage shows Mark making his way through the St James’s area towards his family home at Rodney Drive on Saturday 18 December 2021. The footage also shows the two gunmen arrive in the area and the vehicle they travelled in.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil McGuinness said that afternoon, at approximately 4.35pm, two gunmen fired shots through the front window of his family home. Mark was critically wounded, and sadly later died in hospital.
The CCTV shows Mark’s last movements, as he travelled through the St James’s area to the family home on Rodney Drive.
“The footage also shows a silver vehicle, which we believe had a yellow taxi sign on its roof, turn from Donegal Road into St James’s Crescent and stop. We believe the footage then shows the two gunmen exit from the rear passenger door of the vehicle, before they walk along an alleyway which runs behind the houses on St James’s Crescent and Rodney Drive,” he said.
“This violent, deadly attack has left behind a heartbroken family. It has left an entire community united in shock and fearful that such a violent attack should happen in a busy residential area, as many people prepared for Christmas.
“If you have any information, no matter how uncertain you may be or insignificant it may seem, please do the right thing and call us.”
