The victim, Antonio Ortega Petalcorin, 56, said to be the treasurer of the Metro Davao Transport Cooperative, was about to leave his house in Matina Aplaya when a motorcycle-riding man shot him several times, police said.

Authorities were still digging deeper into the killing of Petalcorin, who reportedly had had a spat with an official of the Land Transportation Office.
