POLICE investigating Lyra McKee's murder have released additional CCTV footage from the night she was shot in Derry and are asking for help in identifying a man they believe was reponsible for her death.
PSNI Detective Superintendent Jason Murphy appealed for people to come forward with information about a number of people seen in the video.
Three men, one said to have been carrying a crate of petrol bombs, were seen walking across Central Drive in the Creggan estate a minute before the shooting on April 18.
"I'm releasing footage today from the night of Lyra's murder and I want to appeal to anyone who recognises or knows these people to talk to us."
Dissident republican group New IRA has admitted responsibility for Ms McKee's death and apologised.
Speaking about the main suspect, the PSNI officer said: "He is shorter than both of the other men and is of stocky build. It is of my belief that he is the gunman that fired indiscriminately into the crowd and placed the community and police officers at risk."
"I believe he is the person who took the life of Lyra McKee."
