Ex-cop wanted for murder arrested in Caloocan shootout
A former policeman wanted for murder was arrested in Caloocan City after a gunfight with authorities.
CCTV footage captured the suspect fleeing in a black car to his home, where he attempted to retrieve additional firearms before surrendering.
Police General Paul Kenneth Lucas confirmed the recovery of multiple weapons, including an Ingram, a 9mm pistol, an M-16 replica, and a grenade.
The suspect, who was dismissed from the NCRPO in 2019, was also wanted for a separate shooting incident in Tanza, Cavite, where a man was killed and another wounded.
The suspect denied the allegations and claimed he was traveling on February 14 when the murder allegedly occurred.
Murder charges were filed against him on Tuesday, and the Caloocan police will also charge him for violating the Omnibus Election Code.
