PILAR, Bataan- Two still unidentified men riding in-tandem in broad daylight ambushed a ricemill owner who was driving his car along the busy road in Barangay Panilao, Pilar, Bataan at 9:55 in the morning of Wednesday.
Senior Supt. Arnold Gunnacao, Bataan police director, said Joey Reyes, owner of San Jose Ricemil in barangay Calungusan, Orion, Bataan, died of multiple gunshot wounds all over his body.
Born Again Christian Pastor Lolito Sulit said the victim was a member of their congregation and daily drove his car from his ricemill in Orion to a bank in Balanga.
A tricycle driver who refused to be named said two men in a Honda motorcycle in black crash helmets fired at the victim as the car slowed down. Victim’s car then sideswept an incoming white car before it almost hit an electric post and came a halt as it was about to hit another car parked in front of the CGE Hardware.
Visible were six bullet holes on the windshield and glass door of the vehicle with plate No. PIX 357 at the side of the driver’s seat.
Police said they are still investigating the motive for the killing and the identity of the suspects.
