A GANGLAND hood was blasted to death on the street just minutes before the bells on Hogmanay.
Marc Webley, 38, was gunned down after leaving a new year party at his local pub in Granton, Edinburgh.

The underworld figure – who recently dated Lotto winner Jane Park – had previously been jailed for shooting a rival.
A source said: “Webley was involved in a dispute with a well-known figure from the south of Edinburgh.
“It had been bubbling away for a while with threats from both sides. Thing is the other guy was in Spain when this happened.
“Webley left the Anchor Inn just before the bells and was shot outside. It seems like it was by someone waiting who knew he’d be there.
“Webley is a regular in there so it was fair to assume he’d be there on Hogmanay.
“He was hit in the neck and head area and died at the scene.
“Another guy was also shot and he’s in hospital fighting for his life.”
In 2004, Webley was at the centre of a turf war with another thug who can’t be named for legal reasons.
It culminated in 2005 with him firing a gun at a rival, hitting him once. He was caged for 11 years.
After he was freed from jail, Webley was caged for six months for trying to intimidate a man into handing over £1,000 at a garage.
In 2022, he was cleared of a double murder bid after a witness claimed she could not identify him.
We told in November how Jane posted a picture of them hugging in a bar.
The next day, they enjoyed dinner and drinks at the capital’s Urban Bar and Grill in the Village Hotel.
Later, Jane uploaded more images of her embracing the con to a soundtrack of Can You Feel The Love Tonight? — the song recorded by Elton John for the 1994 Disney classic The Lion King.
Jane, who won £1million in 2013, then shared an influencer’s video about not caring what others think.
But the couple split after just a few weeks together.
Police Scotland have been approached for comment.
