At a press briefing, Police Brigadier General Jean Fajardo said Police Staff Sergeant Ulysses Hernani Castro Pascual was considered AWOL after he escaped from PNP custody in Camp Crame. “Effective October 10, dineclare na po siya as a AWOL.
So ongoing pa po yung paghahanap ko sa kanya but we have to understand na hindi natin siya maaresto po sa ngayon dahil wala pa pong warrant of arrest,” Fajardo said. (Effective October 10, he was declared AWOL. So the search for him is still ongoing, but we have to understand that we cannot arrest him right now because there is no arrest warrant yet.

The four suspects including Pascual and his cousin Cesar Mayoralgo Gallardo Jr. and their accomplices “Jeff” and “Lupin” are facing murder and attempted murder charges . Pascual managed to escape from PNP's restrictive custody after the police officer who was guarding him allowed him to go home.
