Police offer £10,000 reward to hunt down killer

A reward of up to £10,000 is on offer for information a year after the fatal shooting of a father in Glasgow.

Kenny Reilly was sitting in the passenger seat of a silver BMW with his partner at the junction of Maryhill Road and Bilsland Drive on 16 April last year. A black Ford S-max pulled up and a passenger wearing a black balaclava got out of the car and shot the 29-year-old.

He was taken to Glasgow Royal Infirmary and died two days later after being taken off life support.

Crimestoppers is now offering the reward for information received that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Detective Inspector Alan Mcalpine confirmed that the victim had been known to police and several people had been arrested, interviewed and released during their inquiries so far.

He said: “The appeal [response] from the public so far hasn’t been great, hasn’t been bad. We have had a number of people that have contacted us. However, potentially some people may be motivated by a financial reward.”

Det Insp. Mcalpine added: “He was known to the police ... his background and his lifestyle is something we’re looking into in one of a number of lines of inquiry.”
