Guiterrez said authorities are looking at land dispute and the recently-concluded barangay and Sanguniang Kabataan elections as motives for killing Johnny Walker.&nbsp;
"Parang 'yung away sa lupa, medyo mabigat dahil nagkaroon ng kaso sa korte," he said.&nbsp;
The PTFOMS official said the radio broadcaster did not have enemies, and his death may not be connected to his work as a journalist.
"What I am seeing here, based din naman sa matagal nating karanasan sa pamamahayag, mukhang medyo lumalabo yung anggulo na kaya siya ay pinatay ay dahil sa kanyang pagbatikos o komentaryo sa radyo," Gutierrez added.&nbsp;
According to the PTFOMS official, the <a href="https://x.com/dzrhnews/status/1721028508867338706?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killer caught in the closed circuit television (CCTV)</a> pretended that he would just ask Johnny Walker to publicly announce an appeal.
"Ang pasabi raw ay makikiusap lang na may gagawing public appeal or public service.&nbsp; Parang mananawagan daw sa radyo gano'n," he said.
Guiterrez said the house where the radio broadcaster goes on air for his program had no security guards deployed.&nbsp;
"Siguro medyo kampante itong ating napaslang na kasamahan," he added.&nbsp;
On Sunday, Nov. 4, President Ferdinand &lsquo;Bongbong&rsquo; Marcos Jr. <a href="https://www.dzrh.com.ph/post/marcos-condemns-radio-broadcaster-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned </a>the radio broadcaster's death, and he tasked the Philippine National Police (PNP) to conduct an in-depth investigation.
The PNP has formed a <a href="https://x.com/dzrhnews/status/1721311761432015136?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">special investigation task force</a> that will focus on the murder case.
