A MAN has been arrested and charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Jamie Tighe Ennis in 2017.
Drug dealer Jamie Tighe Ennis, 24, from Timber Mills Apartments in Artane, Dublin 5 was shot dead on October 28 2017.
He was gunned down in a housing estate on Moatview Avenue in Coolock at around 2.25am.
The gunman fled the scene in a stolen 00-reg Audi A3, which was later found burnt out around 10km away in Finglas.
In a major update this afternoon, investigators arrested a man, aged in his 50s, in connection with the killing.
After being quizzed by cops, he was charged and is due to appear in court this afternoon.
A spokesperson said: “Gardai investigating the fatal shooting of Jamie Tighe Ennis on the 28 October 2017 have this morning, Wednesday 26 February 2025 arrested a male in connection with this investigation.
“The man, aged in his 50s, has since been charged and is to appear before Court No. 1 at the Criminal Courts of Justice this afternoon.”
“Investigations are ongoing.”
A post-mortem examination carried out by Deputy State Pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster gave the cause of death as gunshot wounds to the head.
At the time of his death, it was reported that the deceased had a history of involvement in robberies and drugs and had several criminal convictions, including firearms offences.
He was also suspected of having been involved in several murders in Coolock and Ballymun.
Although he had connections with both the Kinahan and Hutch criminal gangs, gardai do not believe his death was linked to the gangland feud between the rival groups.
In January 2018, the opening of the inquest into Mr Tighe Ennis’ death heard that the deceased had to be formally identified from his fingerprints because of the extensive nature of his head injuries.
