SUBJECT : Final Report re Shooting Incident that Resulted to Fatal

Injury of Hades Vesarius Reigo

DATE : October 25, 2023

I. AUTHORITY:

1. Rad msg from RD PRO12 with CN: ANTNY1-09-12-2022-035 and CN

BDRKFRY-09-12-2022-035;

II. MATTERS INVESTIGATED:

2. A shooting incident transpired on October 20, 2023, at exactly 8:30 p.m. at

the Trion Building, Alunan Avenue, Koronadal City, South Cotabato.

3. To ascertain the suspect's intentions and his responsibility for the

occurrence.

III. FACTS OF THE CASE;

4. At 8:30 p.m. on October 20, 2023. At the Trion Building on Alunan Avenue
in Koronadal City, South Cotabato, there was a shooting incident. The
victim was identified as Mr. Hades Vesarius Reigo, 45 years old, married,
owner of Reigo Sreel Enterprise, and resident of Bachelors Villages
Koronadal City. Upon witnessing the incident, one of the clerks assigned
to the front desk of the said building immediately reported the incident to
the Koronadal City PNP. Following the incident, law enforcement
authorities initiated a manhunt for the suspect, Juanito Alfonso, also
known as "Juan," who shot the victim in the chest using a 9mm Luger
Glock 19 Gen5. The victim is currently receiving medical treatment at Dr.
Arturo Pinggoys Medical Hospital, where his condition is reported to be
 critical due to the fatal injury sustained. The suspect managed to evade
capture by fleeing towards the north of the location where the shooting
occurred.

5. Upon receiving the aforementioned information, the undersigned promptly

dispatched Patrolwoman Christine May Penafiel and Patrolman John
Lloyd Verano to conduct a thorough investigation and verification at the
specified location. Their primary objective is to identify the perpetrator and,
if confirmed, to carry out an affirmative hot pursuit operation in pursuit of
the suspect.

6. Upon reaching the crime scene, specifically at Trion Building along Alunan
Avenue in Koronadal City, South Cotabato Province, it was substantiated
that a shooting incident had indeed occurred. The victim, identified as
Hades Vesarius Reigo, was confirmed to be the target. The suspect was
positively identified as Juanito Y. Alfonso, alias "Juan," through both
CCTV footage from the building and the eyewitness account provided by
the clerk stationed at the front desk.

IV. DISCUSSION

7. Upon the investigation team's arrival at the scene of the shooting incident,
it was evident that the location was highly secured, given its status as a
renowned venue for business tycoons' meetings. Despite the heightened
security measures, the personnel appeared preoccupied due to an
ongoing event within the building, providing the suspect, Juanito Y.
Alfonso, alias "Juan," with an opportunity to carry out his actions
unnoticed.

8. As the investigation unfolded, it became apparent that the true motive

behind the suspect's actions was to intimidate the victim. It was
discovered that the suspect had been commissioned and compensated to
carry out the threat, highlighting a potential link to business rivalry.
However, the identity of the mastermind orchestrating the threatening act
remains elusive, as the suspect has yet to disclose this crucial information
during the ongoing investigation.

9. The comprehensive analysis of the gathered CCTV footage by the

investigative team revealed a sequence of events wherein the victim,
having just concluded a meeting with his wife at the designated building,
awaited his parked car. Unexpectedly, a Black Ninja 400 Kawasaki
motorcycle swiftly emerged, and the suspect, identified earlier in the
footage, discharged a shot into the victim's chest. Following the shooting,
the assailant promptly fled the scene, heading northward from the
location.
 10. In the sworn statement provided by the front desk clerk, LORENCE FAYE
LAM-AN, who was on duty the night of the incident, she recounted that
she was assisting a customer when the victim and his wife walked past
the front desk, preparing to proceed to their parked car. Unexpectedly, a
man on a motorcycle came to a sudden halt in front of the couple, and
without warning, shot Mr. Reigo in the chest. Despite the ensuing panic
and her trembling state, Ms. Lam-an demonstrated composure by
promptly alerting the police and reporting the distressing incident.

11. Per the statement provided by Mrs. Felicia Reigo, the wife of the victim, it
was revealed that over the past months, tensions had escalated between
her husband and his stakeholders. Mr. Reigo had recently discovered
undisclosed activities within his business, leading to suspicions that the
brewing internal conflict might be linked to the motive behind the shooting
incident. Mrs. Reigo posits that the revelation of these hidden dynamics
within the business may have been a contributing factor to her husband
becoming the target of the assailant.

12. As the victim undergoes recovery at Dr. Arturo Pinggoys Medical Hospital,
the medico-legal examination conducted by Dr. Mariane Joy Codaste, a
resident doctor at the hospital, revealed the extent of the injuries sustained
by the victim during the shooting incident are;

a. The gunshot entered the body at his left chest, and the analysis
indicated significant damage to vital organs, specifically the ribs,
leading to a condition known as pneumothorax.
b. Pneumothorax is characterized by the accumulation of air in the
chest cavity, resulting in the collapse of the lung and impairment
of respiratory function. In this case, the trajectory and depth of
the gunshot wound caused substantial damage, leading to a
rapid and fatal progression of the condition.
c. The wound's dimensions were approximately 3 centimeters by 6
centimeters in terms of depth.

V. CONCLUSION

15. According to both investigative records and the witness statement, the
shooting incident appears to have originated from a prearranged agreement between
Juanito Y. Alfonso, also known as "Juan," and the alleged mastermind.

VI. RECOMMENDATIONS

16. Based on the foregoing, it is respectfully recommended that the suspect be

charged with Murder at the Office of the Prosecutor in Koronadal City.
