A 34 year old man has been arrested as part of the investigation into the murder of Raymond Johnston.
The 28 year old was shot in front of his partner and an 11 year old child in Glenbawn avenue in West Belfast over a week ago.
A number of searches have taken place in West Belfast in recent days and several items have been seized.
Detective Chief Inspector Geoff Boyce, said: “It is just over one week since the brutal murder of Raymond Johnston. The manner in which Raymond’s murder was carried out was particularly savage.
“The gunmen were in the house for a very short period of time and he was murdered in front of an 11-year-old girl and his partner.
“We are determined to catch those responsible and give justice to the Johnston family and while we have made progress in the investigation, we still need help from the community.
“Did you see Raymond the day he was murdered? Can you remember where and when you saw him, and who was he with?
“I am appealing to any members of the public that had contact with Raymond, or anyone who was in the area at any time on Tuesday 13 February and had a dash cam fitted in their vehicles to contact us."
