2 dead as four men rob grocery store in QC
Four armed robbers gunned down a security guard and a crew of a grocery store after they got in their way on Sunday.
Authorities identified the fatalities as Reymond Dag-ay, 32, a security guard and a resident of Barangay Commonwealth, and Romeo Econal, 35, a store crew from Barangay Holy Spirit.
Quezon City Police District’s Batasan Police Station (PS-6) chief, Lt. Col. Romulus Gadaoni, said the victims were both working at Express Lane Minimart along Kapalaran Road, Veterans Village in Barangay Holy Spirit.
Initial report showed that the victims, with their two other co-workers, were inside the store Sunday night when four gunmen wearing black jackets and helmets went inside.
Upon entering the store, one of the armed men immediately shot the security guard on the chest after he barred them from entering the establishment.
Econal also tried to fight back while his female co-workers hid but he was shot on his head.
The still unidentified men rushed to the cash register but failed to open it prompting them to halt the robbery.
The four men and their cohort who served as a lookout immediately boarded three motorcycles and escaped.
Meanwhile, Dag-ay and Econal were rushed to East Avenue Medical Center (EAMC) but eventually died Monday morning.
A follow-up investigation is ongoing to identify and locate the gunmen. (Alexandria San Juan)
