A man in his 50s was arrested in relation to the incident and he remains in Garda custody.
According to reports, a fight broke out between the two men because Keith’s dog was on the land.
The man fired warning shots at the dog, but then killed him.
He started arguing with Keith and his friends and then shot the dad in the head.
His family says his life was “robbed” from him.
