Vicente Morga, 30, who had a toy gun tucked in his waist was shot dead the other night in Port Area, Manila by a still-unidentified male suspect.

“The suspect had reportedly gotten irked because he thought that Morga was showing off with a real gun. So, he shot him repeatedly. The suspect then escaped and remains unidentified,” reports Itchie G. Cabayan on Journal Online.
   
The report noted: “Investigation investigation done by Det. Noel Santiago of the Manila Police District-Crimes Against Persons Investigation Section said the incident took place at around 9 p.m. at Blk. 15-A Habitat, Baseco Compound, near the Benigno Aquino Elementary School. Edmund Cayanan, a barangay kagawad in the area, reported the matter to the commander of the Baseco  Police Community Precinct under the MPD-Ermita Police Station 5.”
