A 20-year-old tricycle driver was shot and injured near a condominium in Mandaluyong City on Tuesday afternoon.

Mandaluyong City Police chief Senior Supt. Moises Villaceran said John Paul Domingo was driving his tricycle when two masked men on a motorcycle shot him near a condominium along Coronado Street in Barangay Hulo around 3:40 p.m.

Villaceran said one of the suspects alighted from the vehicle.

Domingo, who was shot at least once in the chest, was rushed to Mandaluyong City Medical Center and was in critical condition at press time, Villaceran said.

Villaceran said Domingo was not on the barangay watch list.

The police are currently requesting the management of the condominium a copy of its closed circuit television recording which might have captured the incident, the police chief said.

An investigation is still ongoing to determine the motive behind the killing.

According to the barangay, this was the 12^th shooting incident in Barangay Hulo.

Last Sept. 23, Domingo’s relative, 27-year-old tricycle driver Jade Manuel Domingo, was shot in the face and killed by four unidentified men on motorbikes just across the Barangay Hulo police community precinct.

Meanwhile, in August, Chief Insp. Hoover Pascual, a former chief of the San Juan City Police anti-illegal drugs unit, and his son were also shot dead by gunmen on white van on Coronado Street.
