Jury watch footage of moment dad was shot dead while pushing pram
Summary
In a murder trial, a jury watched CCTV footage showing 22‑year‑old Jordan Davis being shot while pushing a pram with his four‑month‑old son through a lane between a church and a national school in Darndale. The footage, examined by Detective Sergeant Eoin Colbert, shows Davis entering the cul‑de‑sac at 3.28 pm, leaving at 3.50 pm, and walking with a friend to the lane at 3.59 pm. A figure on a bicycle approached from behind at that time, and a young child was also cycling through the lane. Davis is seen falling to the ground as the shooting occurs. The prosecution alleges that 31‑year‑old Wayne Cooney, who lives on Glenshane Drive in Tallaght, was the person on the bicycle who shot Davis. Wayne Cooney pleaded not guilty.
