The video, which remains on the social media platform X as of Wednesday afternoon, shows a close up of 25-year-old Tristian Sherry, lying on the ground covered in blood moments before he died.

Gardaí suspect the graphic content was filmed by the attackers and are asking the public not to share it.

A man in his 40s continues to receive treatment for gunshot wounds sustained in the incident at Browne’s Steakhouse.

Gardai said he remained in a serious condition in hospital on Tuesday.
