Sa naunang ulat ng KAMI, isang pamilya na binubuo ng tatlong miyembro ang walang awang binaril at pinatay sa loob ng kanilang tindahan sa Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Nakuhanan ng CCTV ang tatlong lalaking pumasok sa tindahan, isinara ang roll-up door, at walang habas na pinagbabaril ang buong pamilya. Bago tumakas, kinuha pa ng isa sa mga suspek ang isang bag at mobile phone ng biktima. Sa ulat ni Gary De Leon ng TV5’s “Frontline Pilipinas,” nagsimula raw makatanggap ng banta ang pamilya matapos silang magpautang ng P1 milyon sa isang residente ng kanilang barangay, na umano’y ginamit ang pera para sa negosyo.

Sa isa pang viral na lokal na ulat, isang 51-anyos na titser sa pampublikong paaralan sa Las Piñas City ang pinagsasaksak nang maraming beses ng sarili niyang asawa. Ayon sa ulat ni EJ Gomez sa “Unang Balita,” naganap ang krimen sa loob mismo ng faculty room ng paaralan. Sinabi ng pulisya na may security guard naman ang paaralan, ngunit dahil pamilyar ang mukha ng suspek, madali itong nakapasok at nakalabas. Ayon sa suspek, pumunta lamang siya roon upang kausapin ang kanyang asawa at ayusin ang kanilang hindi pagkakaintindihan, ngunit nauwi ito sa matinding alitan.
