Police said their investigation established a previous personal and workplace connection between the woman and the suspect. She worked as a pharmacy attendant, while the man had worked as a security guard at the same establishment.

According to the supplied report, the victim had ended their relationship because of disagreements. She allegedly began receiving threats from the man following the separation.

Police Lt. Col. Gerard Ace Pelare of the Cebu City Police Office said investigators had gathered information about those reported threats. Authorities are looking into anger over the breakup as a possible motive.

“We can consider this as a crime of passion,” Pelare said in the GMA report. He attributed the suspect’s alleged anger to the end of their relationship. This remains the police assessment of the motive behind the shooting.

The CCTV recording documented the roadside encounter and the gunman’s escape. The supplied report said the woman got off the jeepney before arguing with the rider, who was near the side of the road.

Moments later, he allegedly fired at her and fled. Investigators subsequently linked the suspected gunman to the victim through their previous relationship and employment at the pharmacy.
