Homicide investigators identified the victim as Adonis Altor, 43, a resident of the place, whose sprawled body was found shortly after successive gunshots were heard in the area.
Police found a gunshot wound on Altor’s right cheek and two more on the left side of his body.
Altor’s live-in partner, Rosalina Sapara, said he had just left the house to go to work when being gunned down. Their neighbors told her that some unidentified people did it.
Homicide investigator SPO1 Jay Yballe said the victim was shot in close range, as shown on the “tattooing” marks in the wounds that indicated the gun used was fired almost “point-blank.”
There were no cartridges and slugs recovered from the scene and the police have to trace the background of Altor first to determine if there are people who might have been holding grudges against him.
The police had also invited for questioning two security guards who were detailed near the crime scene. These guards might have some details that could lead to the possible identification of the gunmen.
