Martinez was rushed to Cardinal Santos Medical Hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds in the body.

Lambino said one of the unidentified gunmen was wearing black T-shirt, maong walking shorts, black helmet while the other was wearing gray polo T-shirt and bull cap.

Prior to the incident, Martinez was about to proceed in a nearby laundry shop when the two suspects approached and shot him several times, hitting him in the body. Although wounded, he was able to to the other side of the street.

A security guard in one of the establishments in the area, Herbert Bacal, 23,  told police that he heard a gunfire and later saw the bloodied victim running.

The witness said he hid beside a parked vehicle in front of the guardhouse but the suspects poked a gun at him.

When the suspects noticed some people around, they immediately fled on a motorcycle.

The victim went back to his house and shouted for help. PO2 Roel Rey took him to the hospital.

Lambino said they are eyeing robbery as the motive behind the gun attack.
