Moments later, the suspect fired several shots, killing the driver instantly, before fleeing the scene.
Authorities launched a follow‑up operation that led to the suspect’s arrest in Barangay Muzon, San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
Police also recovered the firearm believed to have been used in the crime.
He is now under custody and will face murder charges, while investigators continue to probe the motive behind the shooting. (Hannah Nicol)
