Fresh appeal in nine-year-old murder case
Detectives are renewing their appeal for information in connection with the murder of 25-year-old Jason Mello, who was fatally shot on Bandroom Lane, Pembroke, around 7:35pm on Friday 19th August 2016.
It has now been nine years since Jason’s tragic death. Investigators believe the gunman wore a full face visor helmet and heavy dark coloured winter clothing, which would have stood out on a warm August evening.
The suspect is thought to have:
- Parked a motorcycle higher up on Bandroom Lane,
- Walked down to where Mr. Mello was shot multiple times,
- Fled the scene on the motorcycle, heading out through the St. Monica’s Road area.
Police urge anyone with information no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to come forward. You can remain anonymous.
