Police identified the victim as Reynaldo Javier, 41, of Upper Balandasan in Barangay Mountain View.
He died on the spot from multiple gunshot wounds. Police investigators found five empty shells and two slugs from .45 pistol.
The gunmen left near the body a folder bearing the words “Drug poser, ‘wag tularan. Ikaw na susunod.”
Relatives refused to comment but merely said “bahala na Diyos sa kanila.”
Police report showed that the victim and his wife left their house on board a new motorcycle. They stopped near a store in Mt. View to buy rugs at about 9:20 in the morning. Soon as the wife alighted, gunmen fired successive shots at Javier.
The gunshots left multiple holes on the motorcycle. A slug even inflicted a mark on the wall of a store nearby. Witnesses who begged not to be identified said a gray car with no plate number was tailing the motorcycle of the couple along the Roman Superhighway in Mt. View. When the motorcycle stopped, men from the car alighted and shot the victim.
They said that gunmen kept on firing at Javier even after victim already fell from his motorcycle.
