Murdered: police are looking for three men who killed Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll
Police investigating the murder of a gangland figure in the car park of a Glasgow supermarket have said they are looking for three suspects.
Strathclyde Police have also confirmed the victim of the shooting at Asda Robyroyston on Wednesday afternoon was Kevin Carroll from Lennoxtown. Detectives say the 29-year-old was shot while he was sitting in the rear of a black Audi car at around 1.25pm. Two other men who were in the car were uninjured.
Officers say they believe three men were involved in the murder, two of whom were wearing masks. Two of them approached the Audi while the other man remained behind in a dark blue Volkswagen Golf. After the shooting, the three men then fled in the Volkswagen. Police said the car, which had the registration plate YF55 EZZ, was later found in Yetts Hole Road in Glenmavis, Airdrie. It had suffered fire damage.
Detective Superintendent Michael Orr said: "The vehicle used by the gunmen was bearing cloned registration plates and was clearly disguised to appear that it had not been stolen should any police officers have carried out basic checks.
"The vehicle had in fact been stolen last September from the Rutherglen area. The true registration number of the vehicle was AD04 UFC. This car is currently undergoing detailed forensic examination in an effort to obtain any potential evidential material. We are carrying out enquiries to establish where this car has been kept over the past four months.
