Jumped out of fear
According to Navotas police chief Colonel Allan Umipig, the six law enforcers started shooting when they thought Baltazar — who was mistaken as a murder suspect — was trying to escape. “Sabi ko sa kanya wag ka tumalon wala tayong kasalanan nag-li-limas lang tayo eh. Tsaka kahit anong sigaw po namin, wala talaga eh kasi ang lakas ng mga putok ng baril,” Tonyo told“Dalawang beses niyang ginawa nagtangkang tumalon. Nung una po, Nahila ko pa po siya. Nung pangalawa po, hindi na nadulas po ako nabitawan ko po siya,” he added.
The victim’s other sister, Jeraldine, said Baltazar’s body was retrieved by his uncle around 5 p.m. They waited for about three hours before Scene of the Crime Operatives of the Philippine National Police arrived at the scene.
