The police say the man killed along Mountain View Avenue this morning was among a group of men who engaged them in a fierce gunbattle.
The Constabulary Communications Network (CCN) says a 40 Calibre Smith and Wesson pistol with a magazine containing two rounds was also seized.
The slain man has been identified as 25-year-old Kavorah Shue, who is of a Jarrett Lane address.
The killing sparked angry protest among residents who blocked a section of Mountain View Avenue.
The residents say Shue was killed in cold blood.
However, the police say they were on an operation in the area when they came under heavy gunfire from a group of men.
They say the fire was returned and Shue was later found suffering from gunshot wounds.
The Independent Commission of Investigations is probing the incident.
