After the wounded suspect’s arrest, police also caught two relatives who brought him to the hospital.

Both denied taking part in the crime, claiming they only helped because of family ties.

Two more suspects were later arrested. Police seized two guns from them. Investigators said one acted as a lookout, while the other drove the getaway vehicle.

One of the suspects insisted he only drove without knowing about the planned crime.

According to Police Corporal Ryand Paul Antimaro, revenge was the motive. The victim had previously shot the close-range gunman, but the suspect was not hit. This time, he struck back.

Police continue to hunt for the last suspect.

All arrested men will face murder charges, while two will face additional cases tied to the seized firearms.
