McKee, who contributed to The Atlantic and Buzzffeed, is the first journalist killed in Northern Ireland in 18 years.
Dissident Republicans are believed to be behind the shooting dead of a journalist in Northern Ireland, as police have appealed for calm.
She had recently signed a two-book deal with Faber, who called her a"rising star of investigative journalism.” Her first book, The Lost Boys, was due to be published in 2020 and was about the disappearance of children and young men during The Troubles, the Bookseller reported. McKee contributed work to The Atlantic and to BuzzFeed News, among other outlets.
She was the first journalist to be killed in the United Kingdom since September 2001 when investigative journalist Martin O’Hagan was assassinated on his way home from the pub in Lurgan by the Loyalist Volunteer Force. There has been an uptick in violence in Northern Ireland amid heightened fears that sectarian violence might be revived, over concerns about the effects of Brexit. The city was the scene of a car bomb in January, in a suspected attack by the New IRA.
