"Naglakad sa may gate ang biktima nang may makasabay itong van. Nang tinanong sa gate kung saan pupunta ang sasakyan, nakitanong din umano ang biktima pero hindi pinansin ng mga apat na lalaki sa loob. Nang papasok na ang van... nagawa pang hampasin ng biktima ang van,"  Makati Police chief Senior Supt. Manuel Lukban Jr. said in the report.

The victim was rushed to a hospital where he died, the report added. All four suspects are now in police custody, Lukban said, adding that an investigation is ongoing.  Police believe the four suspects are children of wealthy families.
