Police named the deceased as 48-year-old Michael Brown, a resident of Waterford, England.
A police report said about 12:20 am, Brown was in an unfinished section of a house in Mike Town when a gunman entered and opened fire hitting him.
Brown was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
This is the second murder in Manchester in less than a week. On Saturday, 42-year-old bartender Nakeisha Harrison otherwise called ‘Bumpa’ was shot dead by gunmen at a house in Landsettlement (near Royal Flat).
A police source said investigators theorise that Harrison was not the intended target.
