He was rushed to the Ciudad Medical Center for treatment but died shortly after 8 p.m. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) investigation chief Danilo Tendero said business rivalry is most likely the motive in the killing of Saavedra.

Tendero said investigation continues to unmask the gunmen responsible in the killing of Saavedra.
