Suspect in shooting of Tara Santelices slain in shootout

The suspect who shot and robbed Ateneo Political Science graduate Antonia Marina “Tara” Santelices, leaving her still comatose, in Cainta, was reportedly killed in a shootout with police in Antipolo, Rizal last April 2009.

 

Orlando del Rosario, 29, died when he fired at police personnel of Antipolo. Police officers were about to arrest him for delivering illegal drugs in M.H. del Pilar St., San Isidro Village, Antipolo, Rizal.

 

Santelices was shot on the head on her 23rd birthday on August 6, 2008 when she refused to hand over her bag that contained a laptop computer while riding an Angono-bound jeepney on Imelda Avenue in Cainta, Rizal. The bullet reached part of her brain causing her comatose condition. Her friends, however, said that her condition has significantly improved. – ?
