Detectives said a post-mortem examination had been carried out. They have appealed for witnesses to the attack to come forward.
Officers are checking CCTV footage from in and around the area and door-to-door inquiries are also being carried out.
Det Insp Ally Semple, of the Major Investigations Team, said: "Thomas has been the victim of a violent and targeted attack and it's imperative we trace whoever is responsible for his murder.
"Extensive inquiries have been ongoing with specialist officers and forensics teams conducting examinations at the scene.
"I am appealing to local residents to contact us with any information they may have, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please do pass it on. A man has lost his life and his family and friends have been left in a state of shock at what has happened.
