The Glasgow Times reported in 2023 a poster, which appeared to be from the Connelly Family, was posted in a shop window on Cambridge Street appealing for information.
It read: "Four years on we still have no answers or justice.
"Johnny went missing on July 15, 2019.
"The Monday after TRNSMT he had injuries to his head and torso before being found dead a week later on the 22/7/2019 in Spiers Wharf Canal.
"Who done this to him we need to know.
"Why was Johnny's life taken from him.
