Fortunately, Cacalda sustained no injuries, however, Amores escaped and is still at large. A manhunt was set out for the suspect. After firing, he got off in a motorcycle going to the general direction of Pagsanjan, Laguna.

The shooting incident happened two years after Amores ran amok and punched four St. Benilde Blazers players during an NCAA game. He was expelled from the Jose Rizal University (JRU) basketball team and was handed an indefinite ban by the NCAA after he went on a rampage.
Last year, he took the path to becoming a professional player and Amores joined PBA Season 48 Rookie Draft. Amores was Batang Pier’s 51st overall pick. As of this writing, NorthPort head coach Bonnie Tan has been made aware of the incident but the team’s management refused to make any comment or release a statement as the incident remains under investigation.
