A jeepney operator was shot dead by armed men onboard motorcycles in Marikina City Wednesday.
A report from the Eastern Police District identified the victim as Raymond Eugenio, 30, of Barangay Parang, Marikina.
Investigation showed that Eugenio was seated on the rear right side seat of a black Toyota Yaris driven by Michelle Eugenio, 33, on A. Bonifacio Ave. at about 5:40 p.m. when two motorcycle-riding men closed in on the right side of the vehicle and opened fire at the rear right passenger window.
Police said the victim sustained multiple bullet wounds in different parts of the body and was taken to Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center in Marikina. He was declared dead by the attending physician at about 6:10 p.m.
Eugenio was reportedly unharmed.

The suspects, wearing black jackets, quickly fled toward east on Marcos Highway.
Authorities are still investigating the motive behind the killing. (Jhon Casinas)
