A Philippine government attorney was fatally shot while riding in an Uber with his mother on their way to the airport in Philadelphia, police said.
Prosecutor John Albert Laylo, 35, and his mom, Leah Bustamante Laylo, were heading to Philadelphia International Airport to catch a flight home from a vacation in the US when gunfire broke out around 4 a.m. Saturday, police said.
Police said someone in a black car fired several rounds into the victims’ Uber at a red light near the University of Pennsylvania, striking Laylo in the back of the head.
The gunman then moved to the driver’s side and fired additional shots before fleeing.
The Philippine official was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:33 a.m. Sunday. His mother was hospitalized with shrapnel wounds from shattered glass, according to Philippine Consul General Elmer Cato and Bustamante Laylo.
“Never did I imagine or dream that … the end of our vacation will be like this!” the mother wrote in a post accompanied by photos of her and her son happily posing up at landmarks in New York, Washington, DC and Philadelphia. “We travelled together and we are supposed to go home together! I will bring him home soon in a box!”

Just some Brotherly Love.....
You know damn well it wasn’t a student…
Killadelphia never fails
The victim was shot in the back of the head.
Pretty clever, do it in a violent city as a cover story.

Part time Uber driver. Part time gang member.
That story reminds me of getting up three in the morning when it’s below freezing to get some sandwiches and wind up meaning to Maga Nigerians with bleach and lynching rope. Go figure
This was either a case of mistaken identity or - more likely - a random attack by a black thug just for the hell of it. We see that over and over these days. I don’t know if the perp could tell the ethnicity of the victims, but if he did, I wouldn’t be surprised if that played a role in the murder.
So, I guess my "Make my day" eye contact could get me killed in Philly?
Don’t go to Philadelphia if you can avoid it.
Don’t go in downtown Philadelphia, unless required by law (jury, etc.)
Don’t drive yourself, if you can avoid it.
Don’t go at night ever.
Don’t go.
I suppose our communist government did not like what was being proposed so the Philippine government lawyer was committed to Arkancide.
Jumbled way of saying he was murdered on the way to the airport to keep him quiet and send a message.
No, but the campus shares roads with the City and the crime stats are supposed to jibe — and the University regularly understates the crime stats. The victim doesn’t have to be a student.
If only law abiding citizens would turn their guns in then these crimes would stop occurring. Right. That’s how it works in La-La progressive land.
I know, as I used to work for PECO.
I was more pointing out that “Quintavious Jenkins” and “DeMarcus Johnson” are never in college, let alone Ivy League.
There are cameras at just about every traffic signal, so we may never know.
Airline flights are dangerous to your health, and to the carbon of the planet.
Sounds like someone didn’t want this prosecutor to get back to work.

Foreigners are completely ignorant on where NOT to go on a vacation 🤪
First thing any educated person would do is AVOID blue libtard cities and your chances of survival increase exponentially
