Both died after the reported shootout at No. 207 One Burgundy Plaza Condominium along  Katipunan Avenue in Barangay Loyola around 2:30 p.m.

In an interview with the Inquirer at the crime scene, Chief Insp. Redentor Ulsano, Anonas police station 9 commander, said one of the guards had been identified as Aclipiades Pobe through a postal ID recovered from his body.
