A motorcycle rider died after being shot at close range by one of his backriders.

The crime took place along a road in Barangay 127, Tondo, Manila, in broad daylight.

Captured by CCTV and shared by TV5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the victim was seen riding with two male backriders.

Moments later, the motorcycle suddenly fell; although it was no longer clearly captured by the camera, one of his backriders reportedly shot him at close range.

And just seconds after executing the crime, another motorcycle rider came, and was used as a getaway vehicle by the two male backriders of the victim, including the suspect himself.

According to initial reports, the motive behind the crime could possibly be connected to illegal dr*gs.

In the Philippines, if someone shoots and kills another person and then flees the crime scene, the individual can be charged with hom!cide or murder, depending on the circumstances.

Murder is considered a more serious crime than hom!cide and involves qualifying factors such as evident premeditation, treachery, or abuse of superior strength.

Fleeing the scene is viewed as an attempt to evade responsibility and can be seen as a sign of guilt. The suspect may also face additional charges, such as illegal possession of firearms, if the weapon used was unlicensed.

Once caught, the suspect can be arrested and detained while the case is being investigated and tried. If convicted, the punishment can range from reclusion temporal (12 to 20 years) for hom!cide to reclusion perpetua (up to 40 years) for murder, depending on the final judgment of the court.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
