Laxamana, known as an expert player in multiplayer online battle arena game Defense of the Ancients 2 in his hometown of Tarlac, was last seen departing for Baguio City with two friends on August 15. The three were believed to be on the way to join a Dota tournament.
The encounter where Laxamana lost his list life took place on August 16, when he allegedly exchanged gunshots with police officers after dodging a mandatory checkpoint while riding a motorcycle, according to reports.
Friends and family have denied that Laxamana could have been involved in the crimes imputed on him, as his attention was focus solely on his gaming.
