Assassins gunned down a dad-of-one in cold blood in a broad daylight shooting caught on CCTV.
Gareth Hutch was walking to his car when he was shot in the head and neck by the two ruthless thugs.
Footage shows the pair fleeing the scene as Mr Hutch lies slumped next to the open door of his car.
His cousin Ross Hutch sets then sets off in pursuit.
The shooting was believed to be linked to an ongoing gangland feud in Dublin , which has claimed seven lives.
Mr Hutch, thought to be the nephew of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch, was rushed to the Mater Hospital but was declared dead on arrival, reports the Irish Mirror.
A witness to the brutal assassination said he watched two gunmen approach the victim, who was sitting in a black Volkswagen car, and then fire guns.
Hutch, a member of the Hutch family in his 30s, was killed at the scene.
The shooting is understood to be connected with the ongoing feud between two criminal outfits in the city - the Hutch and Kinahan families.
According to a witness, the mask of one of the two gun men involved “fell down” from his face.
The witness said: “Two guys jumped out of a car. Moments later we heard three or four shots.
“I thought they were like toy guns, there was like a pop.
“They had silencers on them.
“They shot the guy through the window.”
The witness said he then ran over to check on the victim.
He said: “I went over and I felt his pulse but there was none.
“He was shot in the car through the side window, he managed to scramble out the door and onto the pavement but he was dead by the time I got over to him.
“There was blood and vomit everywhere. It was horrible.”
The witness, who was visibly shaken, said after the shooting the men ran to a nearby BMW and attempted unsuccessfully to start it.
He said: “They stalled it twice.
“They couldn’t get it moving.
“They both dropped the guns, jumped out of the car and ran down the road towards Summerhill Road where there was another car parked.”
The witness said the mask of one of the two assailants dropped while they were making their escape.
“One guy was covered up to below his eyes.
“The second one’s mask fell down and there’s [CCTV] cameras all over the place here.”
After being asked about the physical appearance of the gunman the witness said he was “too frightened” to comment.
