The victim had intervened to help the MMDA stop the suspect for a traffic violation in Quezon City on March 14.

MMDA Deputy Chairman Usec. Frisco San Juan Jr. identified the victim as Wilmer Zara, 31.

Zara took the initiative to chase the man who had evaded a checkpoint along Commonwealth Avenue near Soliven Street, using his own motorcycle. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage showed Zara falling to the ground after being shot. He was brought to a nearby hospital but later died from a gunshot wound to the head.

Initial investigation showed that the gunman got off the motorcycle to shoot Zara, and even attempted to take the victim’s motorcycle. It was learned that the gunman’s motorcycle had no plate number.
