The condition of the two guards in the hospital is stable.

The initial investigation by the police found that Tan, 22, had previously been detained in Parañaque for physical injury charges. But he posted bail on March 4.

The Chinese suspect is possibly charged with murder and carnapping.

Authorities continued to search for him, who released Tan’s mugshot, and description of the car he hijacked as a gray Honda City (DR 2911).

Police are calling on anyone who knows the suspect just to call 8642-2062 of the Taguig City Police.

Police are also investigating the source of the commotion in the condominium because drugs were allegedly found in the unit, but they will still investigate.

The condominium management has not yet issued a statement because it is Sunday, and no one is in the office, according to the report.
