The killer in the family photo: Gunman snapped taking aim at photographer who is shot dead seconds later The man who took this photo, Reynaldo Dagsa, was assassinated immediately afterwards by the man you see aiming a gun on the left This is the chilling moment a politician inadvertently photographs his killer in the background of a family snapshot – a split-second before he is gunned down. Reynaldo Dagsa, a councillor in Manila in the Philippines, was killed in front of his family moments after he pressed the shutter while taking the New Year’s Day portrait. As his daughter, wife and mother-in-law stand smiling outside their home, the killer walks up behind the group and takes aim. Although he was rushed to a nearby hospital in Manila, he was pronounced dead on arrival. The gunman was soon identified as Michael Gonzales, also known by the underworld name of Fubo of Fish Pond Area 1. He was arrested soon afterwards when the district councillor's family handed the camera to police.
