Man shot dead in Quezon City
MANILA, Philippines — A man was shot and killed by two unidentified motorcycle-riding men in Barangay Payatas, Quezon City, said the police.
The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) in a report said victim Alvin Alejo was gunned down along Everlasting Street on Thursday afternoon.
CCTV footage retrieved by authorities from around the area showed that the victim was standing beside his motorcycle on the side of the street when two men onboard a motorcycle came “with intent to kill,” according to the QCPD.
It further recounted that the man driving the motorcycle pulled out a gun, which alarmed the victim as he attempted to escape. The gunman shot the victim twice and immediately fled the scene along with his accomplice.
Police said the investigation is still ongoing to determine the identity of the gunmen, as well as their motive for the killing.
