A former leader of the Continuity IRA in Belfast has been shot dead in the city, according to Sky sources.
The attack happened near the Peter Pan centre in Springfield Road, West Belfast, police said.
The road, one of the main arterial routes in the area, was closed to traffic.
Colin Keenan, a nationalist SDLP Belfast City councillor for the area, said: "A fatal shooting has taken place on a busy through way. The family have just arrived."
The attack happened close to a supermarket on an industrial estate.
The largely-nationalist area of Belfast is mainly made up of tightly-packed terraced housing estates and businesses.
Mr Keenan said it was a horrific scene, with the dead man lying in the grounds of the industrial estate and exposed to view from surrounding residents.
Relatives at the scene are devastated and a priest was praying over the victim, he added.
The councillor added: "We have long hoped that the shadow of death had been lifted from West Belfast.
"Today's event is a terrible, tragic reminder of the violent conflict of the past."
