Not one of the residents knew initially who was the man killed on the alley and they could only surmised he could be someone visiting somebody in the place.

Later in the day, relatives of Panuyla from Talisay City claimed his body at the San Fernando Funeral Homes where he was taken for autopsy.

Policemen found from the crime scene an empty shell of a bullet, which led them to believe that it came from a revolver that was used in killing Panuyla.
