The Canadian, a resident of Gatchalian Subdivision, Parañaque City, but originally from Markham, Ontario, ran a cellphone shop at Victory Mall in Pasay City.

The victim died at the San Juan Dios Hospital while being treated for a gunshot wound to his neck.

Police inspector Rolando Baula said the shooting did not seem to be related to drugs.
