A Korean businessman was killed while his Filipino driver was wounded after two men on a motorcycle fired upon their vehicle in San Juan City at around 8:30 a.m. Thursday.

Senior Supt. Rainier Espina, San Juan police chief, told the Inquirer that Mark Anthony Casayuran was about to park in front of a coffee shop on Connecticut Street when two men on a motorcycle sidled up to Hyung Hur’s black Ford Expedition and opened fire on the victims’ vehicle.

Hur, a 59-year-old businessman engaged in the mining industry, died on the spot while Casayuran was wounded.
