MANILA, Philippines–Police authorities are reviewing footage from a security camera which caught a shooting incident in Manila Thursday evening, police said Friday.
The footage showed that victim Ricky Boa, 29, was walking along P. Herrera towards Carmen Planas street in Tondo, Manila around 10:40 p.m. Thursday when an unidentified suspect walked towards him and shot him several times.
