The Philippine National Police (PNP) said they've identified a suspect behind the fatal shooting of online sellers, couple Lerma (a.k.a. Mommy Lerms) and Arvin Lulu, in Mexico, Pampanga.

GMA News reported that a witness was able to provide information on the shooting. There was also clear closed-circuit television footage that showed the suspect.

Authorities didn't provide other information.

Lerma and Arvin, who sold beauty products starting in 2015, were in their car when two motorcycle riders came up and gunned them down over the weekend. Arvin was shot six times and Lerma three.

Their six-year-old kid and Lerma's teenage cousin, who were in the car with them, weren't hit.

Authorities believe the killing was planned.

They're looking into possible motives for the killings such as debt and business-related issues.

PNP spokesperson Jean Fajardo previously said they have two persons of interest in the kilings.

Fajardo added that one of the victim's parents had a "significant revelation" that could help the investigation but refused to provide more information.
