Police release sketch of Chika Go assassin

-
The Western Police District (WPD) yesterday released a sketch of the alleged killer of former Manila Councilor Chika Go.

Police described the gunman as about 5’3" in height, about 130 pounds, of medium built, about 30 years old and sporting a thin moustache.

Homicide investigators did not release additional information about the gunman.

Detective Alfredo Salazar, who is assigned to the case, said they are still tracking down the suspect.

Salazar said they now have a witness to the Aug. 10. shooting.

Go, 47, who served as a Manila 3rd district councilor from 1992-1995, was driving to his condominium along Reina Regente Street aboard his light brown Mitsubishi Pajero van (WGU-768) when he was caught in heavy traffic at 1:25 p.m.

As the van slowed to a stop past the Reina Regente bridge, a lone assailant walked to the van and shot Go with a caliber .45 pistol. The gunman escaped from the scene aboard a motorcycle.

Ironically, the crime scene was just a few meters away from the Binondo Police Station. Mike Frialde
