This is the terrifying moment a murderer was caught on camera ... by the victim.
A split-second after he pressed the shutter button, the Filipino politician was dead.
Reynaldo Dagsa, 35, had been taking a picture of his family on New Year's Day when the gunman - whose arrest Dagsa had ordered for stealing cars - stepped out from behind a car, took aim and fired.
Two shots rang out and Mr Dagsa was hit on his right forearm and in the chest.
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.
His wife, daughter and another female relative, had been posing for him when he was murdered.
Police chief Jude Santos said: 'While he was taking the picture of his family on New Year's Day, the killer appeared and he inadvertently took the picture of the killer – with the gun aimed at him.'
Not only that, Mr Dagsa had also photographed his killer's accomplice, who can be seen lurking in the background of the picture, said Mr Santos.
The search is now on for the gunman's accomplice, who is standing to the right of the photo as he watches Gonzales taking aim, the muzzle of his pistol highlighted by the camera flash.
Police told The Inquirer newspaper of Manila that the second lookout has been identified as Rommel Oliva, while there was a third man identified as Francis Bumjal, although he is not in the picture.
