Sherwin Vitas, a 34-year-old Bicolano, moved to Tondo ever since he met his partner, Arlene Guibaga, through Ladylyn. Arlene was upstairs when she heard Sherwin asking her to find his ID. She said she handed the ID to the police without going downstairs.
The police then looked at the ID of her husband and yelled “positive!” They began shooting at Sherwin.
