In a statement on Thursday, Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon disclosed that he has already ordered local authorities to look into the motive of the killing of Barangay Buli chairperson Ronaldo Loresca, who died after he was shot by still unidentified suspects in front of a store at M.L. Quezon Street.

“Violence has no place in Muntinlupa, and I condemn the heinous killing of Kap. Kaok Loresca. We will not stop until justice is served,” said Biazon in a social media post.

Initial reports disclosed that Loresca and his companions were seated in front of the store when two male suspects on a motorcycle shot him without any apparent motive and fled towards Sucat.
