A 37-year-old man from Co Armagh has appeared before Lisburn Magistrates Court charged with the murder of PSNI officer Stephen Carroll.
He is the second person to be charged in connection with the killing in Craigavon on 9 March.
The court heard that when interviewed by police, Brendan McConville, from Glenholme Avenue in Lurgan, had denied the shooting.
He also faced a second charge of possessing an AKM assault rifle and 26 rounds of ammunition with intent to endanger life on the same date.
A PSNI detective inspector told the court he believed he could connect the accused to the charges. There was no application for bail.
Mr McConville, who was a Sinn Féin Councillor in Craigavon for four years until leaving the party in 1997, was remanded in custody.
He is due to appear again via video link at Craigavon Magistrates' Court on 3 April.
