He was shot in front of his partner in 2012.

An Garda Síochána have renewed its appeal over the murder of Andrew Allen in Donegal nine years ago.

9 February, 2021 marks the 9th anniversary of the murder of 24-year-old Andrew Allen.

Andrew was murdered by a group of individuals at his home at Links View Park Buncrana.

He was shot in front of his partner at approximately 9.20pm and pronounced dead at the scene.

A car believed to be involved in the murder was located at Churchbrea, Fahan on fire shortly after the shooting.

An Garda Síochána said that it is grateful for all the witnesses that have come forward and made statements but Gardaí believe that there are still people in both Buncrana and Derry City who have information that may assist with the investigation.

Many people have been arrested and questioned over the past nine years, though the investigation is ongoing.

An Garda Síochána is again appealing to anyone with information which may assist this ongoing investigation to make contact with them, saying: “Any assistance received may be instrumental in bringing this investigation to a successful conclusion.”

Anyone with information can contact the incident room at Buncrana Garda Station 074 93 20540 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
