In a previous KAMI report, a family of three was brutally slain inside their own store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. CCTV footage captured three men entering the shop, pulling down the roll-up door, and opening fire on the victims. One of the suspects was also seen taking a bag and a cellphone before escaping. A report by Gary De Leon on TV5 Frontline Pilipinas revealed that the family had allegedly been receiving threats after lending ₱1 million to a fellow barangay resident, who was said to have used the money to start a business.

Meanwhile, another local incident that went viral involved a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City who was stabbed several times by her husband. According to EJ Gomez’s report on Unang Balita, the 38-year-old suspect attacked the victim inside the school’s faculty room. Authorities noted that although the school had a security guard, the suspect was able to enter and leave without difficulty because he was familiar to the staff. The suspect later claimed he went to the school to speak with his wife and resolve their problems, but an argument reportedly broke out and turned violent.
