Police Major Elmer Bonilla, head of Police Station 1, said the victim, whose name has yet to be provided, was sleeping on his rented tricycle parked in the area around 2 a.m., when he was shot.
Bonilla said the victim succumbed to a lone gunshot wound in the head.
Police recovered from the scene a fired bullet of a .380 caliber pistol.

Bonilla said they have no lead yet as to the motive of the incident.
