On Feb. 8, the victim was shot by Rigor in the chest at Scout Rallos Extension, Brgy. Sacred Heart while he was on his way home on board a Grab vehicle. Castor survived the incident.The QCPD said Rigor was dismissed last March 22, while four other police officers — Senior Master Sgt. Nelazar Torrijos, 44; Staff Sgt. Fernan Concepcion, 33; Cpl.
