A second man has appeared in court charged in connection with the killing of Liam Christie in Antrim.
Mr Christie, 43 and a father-of-three, was found dead at a house in the Craighill area of the town on Thursday October 20 after being shot eight times.
Paul Armstrong, 43, of Hawkswood Terrace in Antrim, appeared briefly before Coleraine Magistrates' Court sitting in Ballymena on Monday via videolink from Antrim courthouse.

He is charged with murder and possession of a firearm and ammunition, namely two 9 mm handguns, with intent to endanger life.
Dressed in a grey sweatshirt, he spoke only to confirm that he understood the charges against him.
A PSNI detective sergeant told the court he could connect the accused to the charges before the court.
Defence solicitor Ciaran Shiels, of Madden and Finucane Solicitors, said there would be no application for bail for the moment.
Mr Shiels said enquiries are still being actively progressed within the Antrim area and no bail address is currently available outside of this area.
He added: "Given the public profile of this incident, the fact that police are still carrying out active enquiries, speaking to witnesses and collecting CCTV within the area, unfortunately a bail application is premature at this stage."
The case was adjourned until November 28 and Armstrong was remanded in custody to appear in court again on that date.
This is the third arrest in the case. A 44-year-old man has also been charged with murder and appeared in court last week. A 43-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and later released on bail to allow for further police enquiries.
