Car thieves kill, run over woman in QC

A 34-year-old woman who was on her way to a yoga class was shot and run over by men who took off with her car in Kamuning, Quezon City, Wednesday morning.

The brutal slaying of Teresa Teano came just days after the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) announced the arrest of five suspected car thieves.

This time, however, the police said they had yet to come up with leads on the latest carjacking case.

The victim was about to get out of her car, a new red Hyundai Accent without any plate number, in front of the Brahma Kumaris School on Gener Street corner Kamuning Road when two armed men appeared and demanded the keys to the vehicle.

When Teano resisted and shouted for help, the two men shot her, witnesses told the police.

“After she was shot, she fell in front of her vehicle and was also run over by [the] fleeing suspects,” the police said.

Her classmates at the meditation school said they heard a commotion outside and a shout for help.

The first one who ran outside the school to see what was going on saw Teano lying on the street and her car speeding off toward Tomas Morato.

Case officer Police Officer 3 Gregorio Maramag said the victim, who sustained a gunshot wound in the right cheek and right arm, died on the spot.

The Inquirer tried to get a comment from QCPD director Chief Superintendent George Regis but was told that he was in a meeting.
