Marlon Galinzuga, slain by assassins a few meters from the MBF Palace of Justice. Soco recovered eight shells at the scene. The killers were efficient.

A homicide investigator described the manner of killing as “vigilante style.” The victim’s 19-year-old daughter, Mardeth, identified the fatality as Marlon Galinzuga, 40. He lived across the place where he was shot—the corner between Don Gil Garcia and M. Velez Sts. Galinzuga bore gunshot wounds to the head, the back and the arms. He lay face down. Empty cartridge casings were found around him. [full story]
