Man shot dead after buying coffee at store in Malabon

A 24-year-old man was killed instantly after being shot in the C-4 area of Malabon City.

The victim had just bought coffee from a store when the shooting occurred.

Local barangay officials were patrolling the area when they heard two gunshots but initially ignored them, assuming it was just children playing with firecrackers.

A concerned citizen later alerted them to a man lying on the road.

The victim’s father, who had seen his son the night before to celebrate a sibling’s birthday, was shocked to hear of the tragic incident.

The victim’s partner revealed that an unknown man had called her the day before, asking for him.

Authorities are still investigating the shooting to identify the gunman and determine the motive.
