"We will file the appropriate charges against the police officer," Villacorta told gmanews.tv.

They added that Pardeno followed Lee to the comfort room and later heard a gunshot. The suspect tried to escape but was nabbed by security guards of the establishment. Police later arrived and arrested the police officer.
The authorities recovered from Pardeno a .25 caliber pistol that was allegedly used in the killing of the victim.
Doctors at the James Gordon Hospital said that the bullet entered Lee's nape and was lodged in his skull.
“We will miss him, but I believe that he is already in a better place," Lee's mother said after learning his son was declared dead by hospital officials. - GMANews.TV
