A man who was shot in the head by a masked gunman at a set of traffic lights in the Maryhill area of Glasgow has died.

Kenny Reilly, 29, was the passenger in a silver BMW which was being driven by a woman.

Mr Reilly, from Ruchill, was taken to the city's Royal Infirmary where he died on Wednesday.

It is understood the gunman, who was wearing a black balaclava, got out of a dark vehicle and fired a number of shots before fleeing the scene.

Police said a black people carrier was found later burnt out at Craigieburn Gardens, Maryhill.

It is still undergoing forensic examinations but officers are confident it will provide them with leads.

Detectives believe the murder is connected to a local feud.

Officers are continuing to trawl CCTV and carry out door-to-door inquiries in the area.

Det Supt Kenny Graham said: "We have received an encouraging response from the local community following our appeal yesterday but I believe there is still a significant amount of information out there which has yet to be passed on to us.

"I am appealing to the public for their co-operation and support as we try to piece together the motive behind this attack which has left a young man dead.

"We continue to pursue all lines of inquiry and ask anyone with information to call us."
