Two motorcycle riding suspects robbed and killed  a sales executive while loading fuel from agasoline station in Quezon City before dawn yesterday.

Killed on the spot was Mark Matthew Alvarez, 27, a sales executive of Mitsubishi Motors and a resident of Mariano Marcos Avenue, North Fairview, Quezon City.

Inspector Elmer Monsalve, chief of the homicide investigation section of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) said the incident happened at around 3 a.m. in front of the Petron gasoline station located at the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Atherton St., Barangay North Fairview.

The suspects reportedly robbed the victim before shooting him.

Monsalve learned from the relatives of the victim that he owns a red Honda Scoopy motorcycle that was still for registration.

The police official believes that the same motorcycle was the one Alvarez was seen driving when he went to the gas station where he was seen talking to an unidentified man. He noted that investigation still continues if the man was involved in the shooting of Alvarez.

After a while, a taxi driver witness saw the victim running barefooted and was being chased by the two suspects who were shooting at him.

After the victim fell, one of the suspects approached Alvarez and took a pouch that contained an undetermined amount of cash and four mobile phones.

The suspects were then seen boarding a motorcycle that is believed to belong to the victim, then drove away from the area.

Earlier last night, authorities gunned down two of three robbers who held up jeepney passengers also in QC.

Case investigator PO2 Hermogenes Capili said the still unidentified slain suspects were positively identified by their victims as the same persons who robbed them aboard a jeepney at around 10:45 p.m. Friday at the corner of Quezon Avenue and D. Tuazon Avenue in Quezon City.

Capili said one of the supects managed to elude policemen during the firefight. Witnesses told the police the three suspects boarded at the Welcome Rotonda.

While the jeepney was cruising along Quezon Avenue,  the suspects declared the heist and started divesting the belongings of the jeepney passengers.
