‘Tyson’ shot dead in Navotas

"Tyson," not the notorious world boxing ex-champ, was shot dead by an unidentified attacker Wednesday night in Navotas.

PO3 Dante Majadas, officer-on-case, said they found at the crime scene three live bullets and two slugs fired from a caliber .38 revolver and a black bonnet apparently left by the suspect.

Records showed that at around 4:30 p.m., bystanders heard successive shots along the road on Tabing-Dagat 3 in Barangay San Jose.

Witness Eduardo de los Santos saw the victim lifeless and bloodied in the yard of a house in the area. The victim sustained gunshot wounds in the left chest and in the thigh.

Barangay tanod Danilo Diopesa told the police that Tyson was one of the suspects in a robbery of a nearby computer shop sometime in October. He said the shop owner has positively identified Tyson.

The victim is in the morgue of a local funeral home as police try to identify him. — Jerry Botial
