Overview

• Ross Monaghan, 43, owner of Monaghans pub, and 46-year-old Eddie Lyons Jnr—both linked to the Lyons Glasgow crime family—were shot dead by a masked gunman shortly after the Champions League final ended.
• Witnesses reported the assailant fleeing on foot before rejoining an accomplice in a getaway car; police erected roadblocks and traced part of the escape route toward Benalmádena.
• The National Police’s Anti-Drug and Organised Crime Unit (UDYCO) is leading the investigation under a secrecy order, and authorities confirm only two fatalities with no third casualty.
• Investigators believe the attack is connected to the ongoing Scottish gang war that has spilled onto the Costa del Sol, following shootings in Calahonda on April 21 and in Marbella days earlier.
• A British nurse who rushed to the scene comforted Monaghan as he lay dying, and one of the victims’ partners reportedly witnessed the execution.
