As a result of the attack, Wolflee sustained bruises, wounds, and serious injuries to his head. Authorities said he suffered a severe traumatic brain injury that left him in a coma. He later died while receiving treatment.

Police shared details from their investigation through a statement.

"Base po sa statement ng witness, parang sinabi na kinuha yung motor. Pero ang sagot naman po ng suspect, ma'am, eh isinabi lang niya. Kinompronta niya po yung mga suspect."

Investigators also said two of the suspects, who are reportedly relatives, allegedly joined the attack after seeing the confrontation.

The victim's wife said Wolflee had only gone out to attend a birthday gathering before the incident happened. She recalled that the argument lasted for some time before the three men allegedly ganged up on him.

She also claimed that her husband's cellphone fell during the assault and was allegedly taken.

"Hinampas po siya nung isa. Sumunod po may umikot, sinuntok. Nalaglag po yung cellphone niya, kinuha. Tapos may dumating ulit. Pinukpok po siya ng tubo patalikod."
