Boy shot dead in Malabon

MANILA, Philippines - A 17-year-old boy, reportedly hiding from a Pasay-based street gang, was shot dead by two men wearing bonnets in Malabon City Friday night.

Senior Police Officer 3 Ferdinand Espiritu said the two gunmen approached Warren Agao from behind as he was walking along Mesina street in Barangay Tinajeros and shot him twice in the head at around 7 p.m. Agao’s kin told police the boy was trying to avoid his group over the past few days because they were engaged in illegal activities.
