Ex-con shot dead while surfing the web
An ex-convict who had been in and out of prison for various crimes was shot dead on Sunday evening while using a pay-per-minute computer at a retail store in Malabon City.
Police identified the victim as Angelo Figueroa alias Wafu, 34 and a resident of Area 3 in Dagat-Dagatan.
Figueroa was using a “Piso Net” computer, which allows users to surf the Internet for several minutes if they drop a one-peso coin, at a nearby retail store when a man wearing a black motorcycle helmet and red jacket approached him from behind.
Witnesses claimed that the man then told Figueroa: “(Wafu, sorry, but you hurt my child)” before he took out a gun and shot the victim in the back of the head, killing him on the spot.
The gunman then escaped.
The police said the victim had been jailed before for robbery, illegal drugs, murder and homicide. Nathaniel R. Melican
