The Philippine National Police (PNP) identified the three suspects as Richard Elvin Delima Araza, Zander Gal Dela Cruz, and Joel Montoban Loyola who were charged with rape with homicide, and robbery on May 22, 2021.

Mayor was missing for three days and his body was found in Barangay Bagong Silang, Quezon City around 2:30 p.m. last Thursday, May 20.

The Commission of Human Rights said that Mayor’s demise is a call to pass and authorize the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Equality (SOGIE) bill to stop discrimination and abuse for the members of the LGBTQ Community.
