David was shot dead in front of a convenience store in Barangay Gulod following a brief chase, which started during a sting in the neighboring Barangay Sta. Lucia.
His getaway motorcycle, a loaded .45 caliber Colt pistol, seven fired cartridge cases, a fired bullet, P500 in marked money and other bullet fragments were recovered at the crime scene.
Superintendent Alex Alberto said David reportedly robbed Indian moneylenders in the city and was a suspect in the killing of Marcelo Palma, who was found dead last Jan. 3 at a vacant lot in Barangay Sta. Lucia.
