The Independent Commission for Reconciliation and Information Recovery is issuing an appeal for information as part of the investigation into the death of Alex Millar.
Alex was a 54-year-old Citybus Inspector and father of four.
At approximately 2.40pm on Friday 2 May 1975, Alex was working in the Timekeepers’ office at the former Ardoyne Citybus depot at the junction of Cranbrook Avenue and Ardoyne Road. Two gunmen entered the bus depot and shot Alex several times. The gunmen were seen entering a waiting blue vehicle on Cranbrook Avenue. Alex was critically injured and later died at the Royal Victoria Hospital.
On the evening of Friday 2 May 1975 an 18-year-old man was shot at Alliance Avenue and seriously injured by survived. This is believed to be linked to the shooting of Alex earlier than day.
We are also interested in the movements of a yellow Ford Cortina in Tyndale Grove in the weeks leading up to the incident.
The Commission is appealing to anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward to assist the investigation and provide answers to Alex’s family.
