Drug dealer killer hunt stepped up

Police cordoned off the cul-de-sac

Police have issued the description of a gunman who shot dead a drug dealer in a quiet Glasgow street.

Justin McAlroy, 30, was hit in the head and body as he got out of his 4x4 Mercedes outside his home in Acacia Way, Cambuslang, last Thursday night.

The killer is believed to have lain in wait for McMcAlroy, whose wife Tracey is pregnant.

Detectives have confirmed that Mr McAlroy had a conviction from several years ago relating to the supply of drugs.

Justin McAlroy: Supply conviction

The suspect is said to be aged between 25 and 35, about 5ft 10ins tall and of medium build.

He was wearing a dark grey woollen hat and a distinctive dark brown thigh-length anorak with a zipper front and padded shoulders.

He had on dark jogging bottoms and black trainers and his face was covered with a black scarf.

There has been speculation that Mr McAlroy was murdered because he was attempting to build international drug contacts.

Mr McAlroy worked for his father's building firm, Ailsa Construction, in Lanarkshire.
