Police believe Martin Conlon was abducted and later shot close to Keady, County Armagh
A reward of £20,000 has been offered for information on the murder of a man in County Armagh 18 years ago.
Martin Conlon, 35, was found unconscious on the Farnaloy Road near Keady on 7 November 2005.
Police said he had been shot in the head and died when he arrived at hospital.
Det Ch Insp Kelly said it was a "calculated, ruthless and cold-blooded murder".
Detectives believe Mr Conlon was bundled into the back of his own car, a silver Volkswagen Passat, by two masked men at Greenpark Crest, near the Monaghan Road in Armagh.
'Search your conscience'
"The car was driven, by one of the men, to the Farnaloy Road where Martin was shot and abandoned," Det Ch Insp Kelly added.
Mr Conlon was found by members of the public just after 18:30 GMT.
"I have no doubt there are individuals who know who carried out this most cruel of attacks, and I am asking you to search your conscience," the detective continued.
"Please imagine, for just one minute, the loss and heartache that Martin's loving family have endured."
The officer said Mr Conlon's parents have since died "without seeing those responsible for their son's murder held to account".
Crimestoppers has offered a £20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the killing.
A spokesperson for the independent charity added: "To stay anonymous, or to be eligible for the reward, you must pass on information exclusively to the charity Crimestoppers.
