A Chinese citizen shot and killed another Chinese citizen at a hotpot restaurant in Makati City, and the authorities are now looking for the suspect. The incident happened around 2 a.m. on October 17, when a group of Chinese citizens gathered at a hot pot restaurant in Makati City.
During the fun, a man in a white T-shirt appeared drunk and fell off his chair. Then he took off his top. In the following CCTV footage, a man can be seen closing the bedroom door. At this time, a man in black clothing stood up with a cigarette in his mouth and took out a gun from his pocket.
A woman in white can be seen standing and also appears to be smoking, but a man in black can also be seen firing a gun. People in the room panic and the situation heats up. The man in black first tried to control the man next to him, but moments later, he shot the shirtless man again. The suspect left the room as if nothing had happened.
The Makati police identified the victim as Leo Jabin, 29. He was immediately taken to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival. Four bullet wounds hit the victim's hand, arm and chest. The motive for the shooting is unclear, but police are investigating whether it is related to business or a love triangle.
At the crime scene, the police recovered eight bullet casings, two metal casings and five bullets. Authorities are still investigating whether the incident was a staged murder. If this is the case, the suspect will be charged with murder; otherwise, only homicide can be charged.
CCTV footage shows a black vehicle used by the suspects to escape. The Makati police, in conjunction with intelligence agencies, launched a manhunt and contacted the Chinese Embassy and Chinese community to identify the suspect and arrest him.
The police also contacted the LTO (Land Transportation Office) to find out who registered the black vehicle used in the getaway, but it seems that it has been sold several times.
At the same time, another shooting incident occurred in Barangay Diezmo in Cabuyao, Laguna, where a Chinese citizen was victimized. According to the Cabuyao City police, the victim was shot several times in the thigh by the suspects who are said to be fellow Chinese citizens. It happens when they test-drive a luxury SUV while selling, but the deal ends in a shooting and a robbery.
Police are using CCTV footage and highway toll records to track the suspect's movements. The video shows that the suspect's car followed the victim's SUV before pulling it over and shooting it. Authorities suspect that the suspect is still in the area, so their follow-up operation continues and they are cooperating with other units of the PNP.
While the search for the culprit continues, the victim underwent successful surgery and is currently recovering in the hospital. you wait
