From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zach Parker was shot dead on 17 January 2019 outside a gym in Applewood Close in Swords.[2][3] He was driving out of a car park when a gunman shot him and his passenger.[2] Parker, 23, died at the scene and his 25-year-old passenger was taken to Beaumont Hospital.[2] He had been convicted of drug dealing after being caught with almost €3,000 worth of cocaine in February 2017.[2] Gardaí suggested that the shooting was related with local drug dealing.[2] Gardaí believed that Parker owed money to a group known as the Gucci gang, a subset of the Kinahan gang, based in Finglas.[3] Gardaí believed that Parker had secured a relatively small amount of drugs on credit from the gang which were later seized by Gardaí.[3] One avenue of investigation was that he was killed because he wasn't able to pay back his debts to the gang.[3]
