MANILA, Philippines – A 63-year-old man was shot dead inside his car along Osmeña Highway in Makati City on Sunday, July 14.

According to Makati Police Investigation Unit chief Major Gideon Ines Jr, Makati resident Jesus Dimayuga, 63, was driving with his wife, Romana, along Osmeña Highway in Barangay Bangkal at about 8:30 am when a motorcycle-riding gunman suddenly appeared and fired at Jesus.
