A drug suspect, who previously surrendered to authorities, was gunned down by unidentified motorcycle-riding men along Visayan Street in Sampaloc, Manila, on Tuesday night.
The victim, Sherwin Reyes, 30, tricycle driver, and resident of Sampaloc, succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds in the head and trunk.
Police said the victim was walking along alone towards a computer shop near their house when a gunshot was heard at around 8 p.m. of Feb. 26.
Moments later, the victim was seen wounded.
As he collapsed on the ground, the two perpetrators suddenly appeared and fired two more shots at him before speeding away.
The victim was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Two deformed fired bullets and a fired cartridge case were recovered from the crime scene.
Barangay Kagawad Lolita Merin said that the victim was involved in illegal drug activities. It was also learned that he yielded to authorities during the Oplan Tokhang in 2016. (Ria Fernandez)
