The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) has tracked down a suspect in the killing of his 31-year-old neighbor through Facebook accounts, including that of the suspect’s son.
The suspect, identified only as alias Noly, 53, of Barangay UP Campus, was located after operatives of the Anonas police station monitored his online activity.
Investigators contacted his son through Messenger and informed him of his father’s involvement in the case. The son agreed to help convince the suspect to surrender, leading to his arrest in Tondo, Manila, on September 6. The suspect also has a previous case for falsification of public documents.
Police said the killing happened on September 5 after the suspect and the victim engaged in a fistfight along Katipunan Avenue. During the altercation, the suspect allegedly drew a handgun and shot the victim multiple times, hitting him in the chest and head.
The victim was rushed to the hospital but declared dead on arrival. Investigators said the attack stemmed from a long-standing parking dispute. The suspect now faces a murder case before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office.
