'No intelligence to suggest' double shooting in Spain is linked to gang feud in Scotland
Police have said there is "no intelligence to suggest" a double shooting in Spain is linked to recent criminal attacks in Scotland. Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were shot dead by a hooded gunman outside an Irish pub in Fuengirola on Saturday. The incident comes following a spate of assaults, firebombings and shootings across the west and east coast of Scotland in recent months. More than 30 arrests have been made as part of Police Scotland's Operation Portaledge. In response to the deaths of Mr Lyons and Mr Monaghan, the force said an investigation is being carried out by Spanish police. A Police Scotland spokesperson added: "Police Scotland is supporting Spanish police where requested, however, at this time we have no officers deployed within Spain. "There is currently no intelligence to suggest the deaths of these two men in Spain are linked to the recent criminal attacks in Scotland being investigated as part of Operation Portaledge. "Any misinformation or speculation linking the events in Spain are not helpful to the ongoing investigations in either country. "There is also nothing to suggest that the shooting in Fuengirola was planned from within Scotland." The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said it is providing support to the men's families and are in contact with the local authorities. A spokesperson for the Spanish National Police told Sky News that two men had been killed but would not confirm further details on the victims. Meanwhile, the investigation continues. The double shooting occurred outside Monaghans bar on Saturday evening, which had been screening the UEFA Champions League final. According to newspaper Sur in English, a hooded attacker got out of a car and opened fire. One of the men was reportedly shot point-blank in the chest, while the second victim was shot in the chest and abdomen while attempting to flee and later died at the scene. The newspaper added that the wife of one of the men reportedly escaped unscathed. The gunman then fled on foot. It is believed he met up with his accomplice and they continued to escape by car. The attack is one of several shootings to have taken place in the Costa del Sol region this year, according to reports in Spain.

Suspect arrested in deadly double shooting outside Sacto By Night Lounge
SACRAMENTO — An arrest was made in connection with a deadly double shooting that happened outside the Sacto By Night Lounge a year and a half ago, authorities announced. Two people died in the November 23, 2023, shooting. CBS Sacramento spoke to the mother of one of those victims about the moment when she learned of the arrest. Mee Yang, the mother of victim Ryu Kai Her, said the development is "a step closer to justice." Investigators say Her, 23, was shot and killed outside the nightclub by 20-year-old Kevin Thao, who was 18 at the time of the shooting. The club's owner. Ben Do, 51, was also killed. The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office released Thao's booking photo on Friday, noting that he was arrested on Wednesday, May 21. A group of four men, including Thao, was involved in a fight with a group of women when the women gained the upper hand moments before the shooting, the sheriff's office said. This led to Thao allegedly retrieving a gun from a vehicle and firing it into a large group of innocent bystanders, resulting in Her and Do's fatal injuries. For months, Yang has received updates from investigators on the progress with her son's case. California Highway Patrol officers initially detained that group of four men on the night of the shooting after they left the nightclub in a vehicle. Multiple weapons were found inside the vehicle, resulting in their arrests and gun-related charges. However, investigators didn't have enough evidence to charge anyone with murder until now. "My mind was just like, is this real? Is this happening? I was really calm to begin with," she said. "That day has come that they made arrest for the murder, and I know that with Ryo, justice will prevail, and it was just a matter of time." Thao is being held without bail. He was arraigned on Friday.
