(UPDATED) FILIPINO lawyer John Albert "Jal" Laylo, who was shot in the head in a random shooting in the United States city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, has died, his sister confirmed on Twitter on Monday morning (Philippine time).

"To all that prayed and kept us close to their hearts, my family is more than grateful," the victim's sister, Althea, wrote. "No words can ever justify how appreciative we are for the love that you have extended. Unfortunately, my brother has passed. Once again, I am asking you to keep my family in your prayers."
