This story is more complicated than you think, as the two dead people are actually mother and son.
At around noon on Tuesday, February 18, Mark Joseph Reyes and his mother, Jasmine Reyes—who were on board a Valentino taxi (UVC 167)—were shot dead by gunmen on a motorcycle. The crime was committed as the taxi approached the Elliptical Road near the Quezon City Circle.
“Both victims were allegedly members of the Mark Lester Reyes Carnapping-Carjacking Group. The group’s leader, Mark Lester Reyes, is Jasmine’s husband and Mark Joseph’s father,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
In fact, the report added that according to a relative, who was with the mother and son prior to the incident, the Reyeses “had just attended a hearing in Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 94 for their car theft and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition cases.”
The driver of the taxi was not harmed during the shooting. The investigation is still ongoing.
