Police Senior Master Sergeant Erasmo Rosel Jr., investigator of the case, said that, as of now, they still had no details of the possible identification and whereabouts of the suspect who gunned down Rexter Añora, of Sitio Negative of the said barangay. Police Corporal Noel Caralles, desk officer of Waterfront Police Station, said that initial investigation showed that the victim was playing an illegal toss coin game of heads and tails, locally known as “hantak,” when a lone gunman appeared in the area and suddenly shot the victim four times, hitting the victim’s face and other parts of his body.Sitio Negative was just across Sitio Laray where the incident happened, Caralles added.

He said that they were investigating the background of the victim, although they found out that he had no previous records in their police station.
