Witnesses said four helmeted suspects drove up on motorcycles, and one of them walked up and shot the suspect multiple times. They then roared away.

The clothes shop owner was also injured during the shooting, and was taken to hospital with a gunshot wound on the foot.

Police investigators recovered three .45 caliber casings from the crime scene.

Meanwhile, the fatality's father admitted that his offspring was a known drug user and pusher who refused to turn himself in to authorities under the Oplan Tokhang program.

The victim's family also said that they were not interested in having the killing investigated further. — DVM, GMA News
