Victim: Deshaun Berkley, 30.
Date and location of murder: December 8, 2016, Western Stars Sports Club, Pembroke.
Circumstances: Mr Berkley had been attending a party at the club on St John’s Road when he was fatally shot at about 1.20am.
The event was being held in memory of Garry “Fingas” Cann, who lost his life in a December 2009 shooting. Close to 100 family members and friends of Mr Cann were said to have been at the party.
Mr Berkley left behind a two-year-old son and an eight-year-old daughter.
In appealing for the public’s help, police alluded to an incident on Court Street earlier that month involving Mr Berkley and “other men”.
Police also said there were suspicions the attack had been gang-related.
Five men were arrested and bailed in connection with Mr Berkley’s shooting — but to date no one has been charged.
