Police identified the victim as Francis Mark Rito of Barangay Bata here.
Police Capt. Armilyn Vargas, head of the Police Station 3, said the victim was probably on his way to work when he was shot. Vargas said that Rito was jailed for theft and availed of probation six years ago.
She said the victim was linked to a shooting incident in Barangay Bata last month in which 31-year-old Yuki Castro was killed. No charges were filed against Rito after Castro’s family did not pursue the case.
Police have no lead yet on the motive of Rito’s murder. Police still has to check closed circuit television camera (CCTV) footages to determine the number of perpetrators and their possible identities.
