The businessman who died in a shooting incident that took place on the southbound lane of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) last Sunday was facing a total of 14 complaints over bouncing checks, Mandaluyong City police chief told DZMM.<\/p>\n

“Meron po kaming na<\/i>-verify sa<\/i> Regional Trial Court (RTC) na meron siyang<\/i> 14 cases na finile kay<\/i> Mr. [Jose Luis] Yulo for B.P. (Batas Pambansa) 22 [o<\/em>] Bouncing Checks Law (We have verified with the Regional Trial Court that there were 14 cases filed against Mr. Yulo for Bouncing Checks Law),” Senior Supertintendent Moises Villaceran, Jr. said during the radio interview on Tuesday, February 19.<\/p>\n

“And another one, meron din siyang <\/i>(Yulo)nai<\/i>-file rin na<\/i> grave threat against naman sa iba <\/i>(Yulo has also filed a grave threat complaint against another person),”<\/i> he added.<\/p>\n

Villaceran said they will check on the status of the charges lodged against Yulo and the name of the respondent on the complaint that the businessman had filed.<\/p>\n

Yulo, 62, and his two companions were on board a white Toyota HiAce Grandia van when two unidentified gunmen fired shots at their vehicle along EDSA.<\/p>\n

He and his driver, Allan Nomer Santos, were killed in the incident, while the other passenger identified as Esmeralda Ignacio was wounded.<\/p>\n

According to Villaceran, they recovered a .38-caliber revolver and 12 extra rounds of ammunition from Yulo’s bag found inside the van.<\/p>\n

“Tinitingnan namin bakit mayroon siyang baril <\/i>despite ng <\/i>[election] gun ban. Mayroon bang <\/i>threat? Mayroon bang alam niyang nanganganib ang buhay niya? Ayun po ‘yung anggulong pinag-aaralan namin <\/i>(We are still investigating why Yulo carried firearms with him despite the election gun ban. Was there a threat? Did he know that his life is at risk? That is the angle that we are studying),”<\/i> the cop stressed, adding that he is verifying whether the firearms were registered under the name of the businessman or not.<\/p>\n

Villaceran also said the police just had a small talk with Yulo’s family since they are still mourning for Yulo’s death.<\/p>\n

“Maybe [a] few weeks from now kausapin namin, i<\/i>-invite namin talaga sila<\/i> to give us statement kung ano ba talaga ang maaaring makatulong sa kasong ito <\/i>(we will talk with them, invite them to give us a statement on whatever can help in this case),”<\/i> the Mandaluyong police chief said.<\/p>\n

Eastern Police District (EPD) on Monday has formed a special investigation task force group (SITG) that will investigate the fatal shooting of Yulo and identify the perpetrators behind his murder.<\/p>\n

The “SITG Yulo” is studying the trajectory of the bullets and fingerprints found on Yulo’s vehicle, Metro Manila police chief, Director Guillermo Eleazar said in an interview with DZMM earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
