High-profile personalities behind Rallos slay, PDEA-7 head says

AMBUSH. A police officer armed with an Armalite riffle secures the crime scene as Scene of the Crime Operatives (Soco) agents look for evidence at the area where Earl Rallos, deputy chief for operation of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Central Visayas (PDEA-7), was ambushed and killed along Villalon St., Barangay Capitol Site, Cebu City on Friday, July 27, 2018.

Emerson Margate, Central Visayas head of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA-7), said they are now reviewing the cases handled by Earl Rallos, their deputy chief for operations, with hopes of finding possible leads in his murder.

Margate believes that high-profile drug personalities are behind the killing of Rallos late on Friday afternoon.

But he is yet to determine why Rallos had two medium packs of shabu kept inside his service vehicle when he was killed.

Margate said he does not authorize any of their agents to bring prohibited substances with them.
