From the shooting of 4 in the PBA
John Amores, a PBA player, is furious now
after he shot the basketball player in Lumban, Laguna
John Amores, a Northport Batangpierre player, surrendered to the police
What happened to Amores?
In this video that was given to News 5
It can be seen that Amores seemed to be angry
at the basketball players in Barangay Salak, Lumban, Laguna
on Wednesday, September 25
They shouted and rushed to leave
According to the police report, Amores rushed to the place where the shooting took place
When he arrived at Barangay Maytalang 1
he saw a motorcycle passing by
According to the police, it was Amores who was driven by his brother
Later on, the gunshot was heard
The man was not hit, Amores ran away
and the basketball player ran away
According to the police, they did not agree to the game
They said that they did not agree
From there, they did not agree
and then there was a fight
until they reached Barangay Maytalang
Another gunshot was heard
then John Amores was carrying a gun
and the victim was shot
At around 1 am on Thursday, September 26
Amores surrendered
After 30 minutes, his brother followed him
He voluntarily surrendered to our station
because there was a threat to their lives
The two did not give a statement to the media
The gun used in the incident was also not found
This was not the first time Amores was involved in trouble
In 2022, when Amores was a member of Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers
it was reported that he punched Mark Belmonte of the University of the Philippines
in a game at UCBL
Belmonte was required to undergo surgery
The U.P. of the JRU, who investigated the incident,
appealed and asked Amores to be pardoned
A few months later, Amores complained to NCAA
A fan of the player complained to the player
and Amores was forced to surrender
This is where some players of the College of St. Benilde Blazers got into trouble and punched
At first, Amores was just suspended by the JRU
but he was eventually removed from the Heavy Bombers
He was also pardoned by the indefinite ban of NCAA
But Amores found a friend in the office of the Vice President
He replied to a letter from Vice President Sara Duterte
Amores said,
The first person who gave Amores a chance
was Zamboanga Valientes to play at UBL
followed by Muntinlupa Cagers at MPBL
In September 2023, Amores was allowed to join the PBA Draft Combined
for the Season 48 Lookie Draft
He said in an interview with 1PH
that he is still trying to fix his attitude
with the help of sports psychology and anger management
He said,
Especially in the PBA, if I get picked
Amores was given another chance
when he was chosen by Northport Batangpierre as the 51st overall pick
He said,
This is the beginning for me to be right
and to show people what I will do for the betterment of my career
Ultimately, The Beast, who was previously involved in court affairs
was given an advice
They cannot understand what you have now
You just have to trust in God
said Calvin Abueva to Amores
Amores added to an Instagram story
And not everyone is going to acknowledge the growth
that has transpired within you
But you know that your ability to recognize your endurance
maturity and truth
is going to be enough
And it seemed to be enough
because Amores also scored a few points
in the games from PBA Season 48
and scored a four-point shot in Season 49 Governor's Cup
That's why PBA Commissioner Willie Marshal was sad
about the incident that Amores was involved in
But Marshal said in OneSports
They will not be able to comment on the case
because the police are already investigating
We tried to get a statement from Northport
But at this time, they haven't commented
Is this really the end of John Amores' redemption story?
