A 19-year-old man who was being questioned about the murder of Londonderry man Emmett Shiels has been released without charge.
The INLA has been been blamed for shooting the first-time-father-to-be in the early hours of Tuesday, although that group has strongly denied involvement.
The 19-year-old suspect was released on Saturday evening.
Up to a thousand people attended the 22-year-old's funeral on Saturday in Londonderry, with mourners including Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness and SDLP leader Mark Durkan
Mr Shiels, who police said was completely innocent, was shot on the Creggan estate in Londonderry after he intervened when an armed gang targetted his friends. The PSNI said he had not been involved in any violence.
Police have released CCTV footage which showed the masked men at the time of the killing.
