Two other suspects remain at large.
Court records said Sayarot and his driver were on board a Mitsubishi Delican van when four men on board a Lancer cut their path on Sumulong Avenue in Teresa, Rizal about 3 pm on October 29, 2001. The suspects opened fire at the vehicle, hitting the mayor and his driver several times. Policemen from the Teresa Police Station gave chase and caught up with the suspects who also opened fire, killing Sena. The suspects tried to run away but policemen caught Librea and Bulasag.
