These two individuals, along with two others, are believed to be involved in the shooting of Patrolman Austine Jhon Austria.
Austria and other police personnel were tailing two armed men on a motorcycle initially spotted in Barangay Pembo.
The police discovered the abandoned motorcycle in an area along Lopez Jaena Street in Barangay Rizal. While inspecting the deserted vehicle, two individuals arrived on another motorcycle. The passenger of the second bike opened fire on Austria. Austria's comrades returned fire, but the suspects managed to escape.
