The Philippine National Police is hunting down two male suspects involved in the broad daylight killing of an aviation cop in Capas, Tarlac yesterday.
“We will exert all our efforts and look into the bottom of this. We continue to solicit the support of the general public in order to maintain peace and order, safety and security of our communities,” Police Regional Office 3 chief Brig. Gen. Valeriano de Leon said.
De Leon identified the victim as Staff Sgt. Michael Maun, who was assigned to the PNP Aviation Group based in Clark, Pampanga.
Based on the CCTV video that caught the ambush, Maun was driving along Brgy. Cristo Rey when a black car, with plate number ZEW 568, overtook his vehicle.
Two armed suspects alighted and strafed Maun’s vehicle.
The policeman was rushed to the Ospital ng Capas for medical treatment but was declared dead on arrival.
The getaway vehicle of the suspects was eventually found abandoned at Sitio Baloy in Barangay Arangonen also in Capas.
