Police are searching an area in Oban for a gun that may be connected to a drive-by murder of a man in Glasgow almost nine years ago.

Euan Johnston, from Maryhill, was involved in a short pursuit through Glasgow streets on November 15, 2016, when a black Audi Q5 pulled up next to him at a junction.

The 26-year-old was in the driver’s seat of a black Audi RS4 estate when he was shot on Shields Road, near Scotland Street, at 11.45pm.

Police say he suffered “massive” injuries and died a short time later at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital.
