A source said: “Webley was involved in a dispute with a well-known figure from the south of Edinburgh.
“It had been bubbling away for a while with threats from both sides. Thing is the other guy was in Spain when this happened.
“Webley left the Anchor Inn just before the bells and was shot outside.
"It seems like it was by someone waiting who knew he’d be there.
