A 31-year-old man was fatally shot by his 72-year-old neighbor after allegedly being mistaken for a thief in Barangay Maybunga, Pasig City, in the early hours of May 13.

CCTV footage showed Alvin "Nano" Dela Cruz leaving his home compound and entering a nearby alley around 1 a.m.

A witness reported hearing a heated argument before the shooting.

"Nakarinig po ako ng dalawang boses na nag-uusap, maya-maya tumaas na 'yung tensyon nung isang matanda, tapos nung pumasok ako ng looban naglabas na po siya ng baril kasama 'yung dalawang apo, may hawak na pamalong bakal, sabay putok na lang sa tagiliran. Tapos doon nagmamakaawa sa kanya 'yung tao. 'Wag mo ko patayin, may anak ako, dalawang taon.' Hindi nakikinig," the witness recalled.

Nano’s brother, who also heard the commotion, confirmed the tension.

"Nagkaka-diskusyunan na po, narinig ko po 'yung sigawan, pagpasok ko po roon, bigla akong tinutukan ng baril. Napaatras po ako eh. Natakot ako. Sabi ko 'Dalhin na lang po natin sa barangay.' Pagtalikod ko po, pumutok na 'yung baril," he said.

Ariel Gracilla, a member of the Barangay Security Force, arrived shortly after.

"Pagpunta namin doon antimano sakto naman 'yung nakapatay paalis naman, pero hindi namin kilala na siya 'yun. Kaya 'yung pagpasok ko sa bahay na 'yun para katukin at kausapin 'yung nakapatay kung ano nangyari, may nakita akong nakadapa, pag-flashlight ko sabi ko, patay na 'to," said Gracilla.

Nano’s live-in partner insisted he was not a thief and had been wrongly accused.

CCTV confirmed he was unarmed and appeared to be searching for something inside the suspect’s compound.
