Police Brig. Gen. Randy Glenn Silvio said the suspect was apprehended by operatives of the QCPD Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit along Bagong Buhay Avenue in Barangay Bagong Buhay 2, San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

A resident of Camarin, Caloocan City, the suspect is now under CIDU custody. He has a standing warrant of arrest for murder issued by Branch 91 of the Regional Trial Court in Quezon City.
