A P2,000,000 bounty is being offered for any information that could lead to the arrest of a Chinese national linked to the killing of a compatriot inside a hotpot restaurant in Makati City on October 17.
The Southern Police District (SPD) said that an undisclosed Chinese businessman offered the reward to help in the immediate arrest of the suspect, identified as "Wang Dan Yu," also known as "Bao Long."
He is the alleged gunman who shot to death another Chinese national identified as Liu Jiabin.
Based on CCTV footage from the Makati Police, the victim was seen having a drinking session inside a private room in the restaurant together with Bao Long, another unidentified Chinese national, and the alleged manager of the restaurant.
The victim and the suspect reportedly had a heated argument which led to the fatal shooting incident that was caught on CCTV.
Authorities said the victim sustained four gunshot wounds on his hands, arms, and chest. He was immediately brought to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
Police had earlier said that the motive for the killing could be business-related or linked to a love triangle.
The SPD said anyone who has information about the suspect should report to the nearest police station or contact the Makati City Police Station at 09297936525. It added that all information will be kept strictly confidential.
“Take no action to apprehend this individual yourself as he is considered armed and dangerous,” the SPD warned the public.
