PNP reveals identity of the Resorts World Manila Gunman is former Employee of Def. of Finance

The gunman who attacked Resorts World Manila was a former government employee who was deep in debt due to gambling, police confirmed Sunday.

Relatives identified Jessie Carlos, 42, as the rifle-wielding man who casually walked into the posh casino on Friday and started a series of events that led to his death and that of 37 others, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Director Oscar Albayalde said.

Carlos was a former employee of the Department of Finance's One Stop Shop. He was dismissed from service for misdeclaration and non-disclosure in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth.

"He is heavily in debt due to being hooked in casino gambling, according to his immediate family... He has a bank account with an outstanding debt of 4 Million, and several other non bank related debt," Albayalde said in a press conference.

Carlos' debt caused a rift in his relationship with his wife and parents, and also forced him to sell his sports utility vehicle.

The suspect's last known address was in Sta. Cruz, Manila, Albayalde added.
