The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) has filed murder charges against Abo Kabalo Sampillo for the fatal shooting of motorcycle rider Wilmer Caponpon Zara on March 14.
Sampillo was flagged down by MMDA enforcers for a traffic violation but fled, prompting Zara to pursue him on his motorcycle.
During the chase, Sampillo shot Zara, who was later declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
CCTV footage showed Sampillo evading MMDA enforcers, being pursued by Zara, then stealing Zara's motorcycle before fatally shooting him.
Forensic tests confirmed that cartridge cases recovered from the crime scene matched, indicating the same firearm was used in the incident.
A peanut vendor, Dylan Manchera Allapitan, reported the incident to the police.
A witness has also linked Sampillo to a 2021 shooting incident in Novaliches.
