On July 4, 2025, a joint funeral was held for Eddie Lyons Jr. and Ross Monaghan, two prominent crime figures, more than a month after their deaths in a targeted shooting at a beachfront bar in Fuengirola, Spain, on May 31, 2025. The event took place at a crematorium in Bishopbriggs, attended by family and associates, marking a significant moment in the ongoing investigation. Spanish police, led by Chief Superintendent Agudo Novo, described the attack as a ”professional” operation, with the suspect executing a ”perfectly planned” escape, suggesting involvement of the Daniel crime group. The investigation involves collaboration between Spanish and Scottish authorities, who were surprised by the public disclosure of these details. The shooting occurred in a busy coastal area, with no specific casualty numbers beyond the two victims reported. Two associates of the Daniel group were previously cleared of the attack but later convicted of other organized crime offenses. Monaghan is believed to have relocated to Spain shortly after a school shooting, adding context to his presence. The suspect’s identity remains undisclosed, and no arrests have been reported as of the funeral date. The case has drawn attention due to the international nature of the crime network, with the suspect’s refusal to consent to extradition from Spain complicating efforts. The outcome of the investigation remains ongoing, with no further updates on suspects or motives provided. The funeral highlighted the personal impact on the victims’ families, while the police continue to pursue leads. This incident underscores the challenges of tackling cross-border organized crime, with potential implications for future security measures in tourist-heavy regions like the Costa del Sol. The next steps in the case are awaited, as authorities work to bring those responsible to justice.
