Gardaí have moved against feuding criminals in counties Louth and Dublin in a series of raids as one of the most senior officers in the force warned of a generational shift under way in organised gangs. The killer cycled up to Mr Davis and shot him in the head as he wheeled his infant son, born in January, in a buggy. Amid worsening gangland violence in several parts of Dublin and in Drogheda, Co Louth, Garda teams on Thursday carried out a series of raids. Gardaí believe the same gang shot Mr Little because they feared he wanted to avenge his friend’s murder. While the motive for the killing for Mr Davis is less clear, gardaí believe he was shot by another drugs gang over an unpaid drugs debt.
