QCPD Arrests Driver-Suspect in Batasan Hills Shooting; Manhunt Continues for Gunman
QUEZON CITY, June 5, 2026 — A swift and coordinated joint operation by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (CIDU) and Batasan Police Station 6 of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) under the supervision of PBGEN RANDY GLENN SILVIO, District Director, led to the arrest of one of the suspects in a fatal shooting incident that transpired on June 3, 2026, at Kagawad Road corner Mabini Street, Brgy. Batasan Hills, Quezon City.
The arrested suspect was identified as alias “Jemar,” 29 years old, a Grab driver and a resident of Brgy. 171, Caloocan City.
Based on initial investigation, the 52-year-old male victim was walking home with a companion when he was shot by one of the suspects aboard a motorcycle, resulting in his death. Concerned citizens in the area immediately reported the incident to PS 6.
Through intensive investigation, including forward and backward tracking, operatives established that the suspects were aboard a gray Honda Click motorcycle, which was seen traversing J.P. Rizal Street in San Mateo, Rizal, proceeding to Marikina City, then UP Diliman, Quezon City, until they reached Brgy. 171, Caloocan City, where a stakeout was conducted.
Upon coordination with barangay officials and interviews with residents in the area, the suspect and his residence were identified. Operatives of CIDU, together with personnel of PS 6, then conducted a hot pursuit operation, resulting in the suspect’s arrest at around 12:13 AM on June 5, 2026.
Recovered from the suspect’s possession were a red “MOVE IT” half-face helmet, a green long-sleeved garment bearing “GRAB” markings, a pair of cream rubber shoes, a gray Honda Click motorcycle, and a TECNO Android cellular phone.
The suspect will be charged with Murder before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office, while follow-up operations remain ongoing to identify and apprehend the gunman who remains at large.
“QCPD assures the public that all leads are being pursued and that appropriate investigative and operational measures are being undertaken to ensure the swift resolution of the case and the arrest of the gunman,” said PBGEN SILVIO. # # #
