Justice Delayed, Not Forgotten: The Unsettling Case of Lyra McKee's Murder The murder of Lyra McKee in April 2019 still hangs over Northern Ireland like a dark cloud, a grim reminder that some wounds remain unhealed despite progress towards peace and reconciliation.
A £20,000 reward is now being offered by Crimestoppers for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. McKee was shot while observing a disturbance in Derry as a 29 year old journalist.
The fact that no one has been charged with firing the gun is a painful indictment of the lingering culture of silence in Northern Ireland, which McKee's family cites as a major obstacle to justice.
