A 22-year-old man was killed while his teen brother suffered injuries after two suspects on a motorcycle fired at them after snatching their gadgets yesterday morning in Sta. Cruz, Manila.

Richard Dean Del Monte, of  1347 Natividad St., Sta. Cruz, died-on-the spot, while his brother Rycoft,16, is still in the hospital due to a gunshot wound in the neck.

SPO3 Glenzor Vallejo of the Manila Police District-homicide section saidRichard was playing with his laptop and Rycoft was holding his PSP around 5:40 p.m. when the suspects arrived on a plate-less motorcycle and grabbed the gadgets.

When Richard reportedly tried to resist, one of suspects shot him in the chest and neck.  Rycoft tried to help his brother but was also shot in the neck. Itchie Cabayan
