Daniel Lawless is accused of shooting an innocent man outside the victim’s home in what prosecutors describe as a case of mistaken identity, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The victim, David Forbes, was shot as he went to pick up a chip shop order. The accounts say Lawless had been seen on CCTV shortly before the shooting, showing a shotgun to friends in a pub car park. Prosecutors and court reporting indicate the incident involved an apparent misunderstanding about who Lawless intended to target, leading to Forbes being injured instead. Police and court coverage focus on the timeline leading up to the attack, including the pre-shooting footage in which Lawless displays the weapon. The reports also describe that the shooting occurs outside the victim’s own home, rather than at a location connected to the suspected target. No outlet’s account in the provided text disputes the core sequence: the CCTV display of the shotgun shortly beforehand, the chip shop context, and the characterization of the shooting as stemming from mistaken identity.
