Car dealer slain in Caloocan

MANILA, Philippines - A used car dealer was shot dead by one of four men who attacked him in West Grace Park, Caloocan City Monday afternoon.

Alex Sy, 50, was walking toward fellow car sales agent Emeterio Degucen along J. Teodoro street when four men blocked his way and drew their guns, Police Officer 2 Rommel Bautista said.

When Sy ran and stumbled, one of the attackers repeatedly shot at him. A bullet hit him in the right side of his neck and he died on the spot.

The attackers walked away and blended with the crowd before fleeing on two motorcycles parked nearby, police said.
