A 31-year-old tricycle driver is suspected to have fatally stabbed Southeast Asian Games gold medalist Mervin Guarte in Oriental Mindoro. Calapan City police chief Lt. Col. Roden Fulache told Rappler that a criminal complaint for murder will be filed against the suspect. Guarte was able to call for help and was rushed to the nearest medical facility but ultimately succumbed to his wound at the age of 32.
CCTV footage showed the suspect entering an alley near Guarte's house and fleeing after the act. Fulache said the suspect, believed to hold a personal grudge against Guarte, is on the run and has left the city. Guarte, an Airman First Class of the Philippine Air Force, won multiple SEA Games medals as part of the track and field and obstacle course racing national teams. He captured three silvers in the 800m run and two silvers and one bronze in the 1,500m run. In obstacle course racing, Guarte won gold in the men's individual 5km event in 2019 and another gold in the men's team relay in 2023
