The gunmen waited for Kim Chui’s vehicle to exit the subdivision before the CCTV attack, said Thursday the Head of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit of the Quezon City Police District.

QCPD-CIDU Chief Major Elmer Monsalve, interviewed on GMA News ‘ Unang Balita, said that the special investigation task group had already obtained the CCTV footage of Chiu’s van leaving the subdivision.

Nevertheless, Monsalve said that the police are still relying on facts to find out whether the incident was a case of “mistakeful identification” as a fair angle to the investigation, despite recent developments in the investigation.

According to Molave, the police have yet to retrieve video from the actual location of the shooting incident.
