'Shocked and devastated': Family issue statement after man shot dead in Glasgow
It comes as police launch an online portal for members of the public to submit anonymous information to help with the investigation.
The family of a man who was shot at in Glasgow have issued a statement, as police continue to appeal for information following the murder.
44-year old John McGregor was shot around 7.05pm on Thursday 26 August on Westray Street in Milton, and died in hospital two days later.
John’s brother Andrew has issued the following statement through Police Scotland:
"I am absolutely shocked and devastated at the loss of my brother John in such horrific circumstances. He was a loving father, granda, son, brother and uncle and will be sorely missed by all of his family and friends.
"On behalf of my family I would like to thank the members of the public who tended to John and provided first-aid on Thursday evening and the NHS staff who tried to save John's life."
Detective Superintendent Raymond Brown, of Police Scotland's Major Investigations Team and Senior Investigating Officer, said: "Our enquiries are continuing into the murder of John McGregor and I am again appealing to anyone who may have information to speak to police.
"I am particularly keen to hear from members of the local community who may have vital details surrounding the circumstances of the incident and could help trace those responsible.
"If you were in the area of Westray Street at the time of the incident or have any information surrounding a white Vauxhall Corsa van that was found on fire on Etive Crescent, Cumbernauld around 9.50pm on the same day, please come forward and speak to officers."
Detectives have set up an online portal to encourage members of the public to submit information.
