It was previously reported that last March 21, Jay Castañares, 44, a former barangay councilman and ex-convict, exchanged gunfire with policemen responding to an earlier shooting.
Around 9 a.m. that day, Castañares allegedly shot dead a gulaman vendor identified as Emilio Miñoza Sabroso, a resident of Barangay Greenhills in the same town. Castañares allegedly mistook Sabroso for a police asset because he was wearing a face mask while selling refreshments in his area, leading him to shoot the victim several times until he fell off his motorcycle.
