The incident happened at a gymnasium in Purok 4, Barangay Bago Gallera, where the victim was conducting practice when the gunman suddenly entered the venue.

According to the initial police investigation, the suspect was wearing a facemask when he approached the coach and fired at the back of his head. The victim was fatally wounded in the attack.

After shooting the coach, the assailant immediately escaped from the area and boarded a waiting motorcycle. The suspect and the motorcycle riders were reportedly wearing helmets, making their identification more difficult.

Authorities have yet to establish a clear motive for the killing. Investigators are continuing to gather information and determine the identity of the gunman and anyone who may have assisted in the escape.

The victim’s mother, however, raised the possibility that the incident could be connected to a pending case involving her son. She did not disclose details about the case, and police have not confirmed whether it was related to the shooting.

Investigators are also examining available closed-circuit television footage from the area in hopes of finding clues about the attack and the suspect’s movements before and after the shooting.

Police are expected to determine whether the shooting was targeted and whether the victim had received threats prior to the incident.

The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to identify the gunman, establish the motive, and determine whether other individuals were involved in the killing.

Authorities said the court found probable cause based on the criminal charges filed against them in the US. Quiboloy remains detained in Pasig City while his separate legal proceedings in the Philippines continue.
