A FUEL inspector who merely stepped out of his house to lend money to a neighbor ended up dead after he was shot in the head yesterday morning in Tondo, Manila.

Leonardo Pelaez, 59, a fuel inspector at the Oceanic Container Lines and residing at 276 P. Herrera  St. in Tondo, died instantly from a gunshot wound in the head.

SPO1 Rommel del Rosario of the Manila Police District-Homicide Section said that based on the account given by the victim’s wife Leonor, a man whom Leonardo identified as a certain ‘Al’ called up to borrow money.

After readying an unknown amount of money, Leonardo hurriedly went down and then out of their house.

Moments later, however, Leonor said she heard a gunshot and when she checked, she found her husband already dead.

An investigation is being conducted by the police to determine who ‘Al’ is and if he is the one who killed the victim.         Itchie G. Cabayan
