MANILA, Philippines — The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) on Wednesday confirmed that the two victims in a shooting incident the day before died while undergoing treatment as manhunt operations were launched against the motorcycle-riding perpetrators.
BGen. Glenn Randy Silvio, QCPD director, identified the victims as alias Norberto, 51; and alias Ceferino, 75, both residents. Ceferino was said to be a known businessman and former head of an organization engaged in nightclubs and karaoke bars.
Silvio said they have been conducting manhunt operations against the two assailants who shot at the white Suzuki vehicle with the victims on board on Tuesday afternoon at the corner of Edsa and Timog Avenue, Barangay Sacred Heart.
At least 12 bullet holes in the windshield and the car's body were found during an inspection at the crime scene, Lt. Col. Zachary Capellan of the Police Station 10 said.
“The QCPD is also coordinating with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority as our investigators are now reviewing available CCTV (closed-circuit television) footages,” Silvio said.
Investigation showed that the victims sustained multiple gunshot wounds in the attack.
The identities of the killers, their whereabouts and motive have not been established, the police chief said.
