Reports say the
32-year old Pastor was driving a team transporter en route to this weekend’s
Asian V8 Series championship race at Clark International Speedway in in Pampanga,
Philippines, and was stopped at a traffic signal in the town of Quezon City when
a masked assailant approached his vehicle and opened fire.
Pastor was
struck in the head, neck and arm, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital a
short time later. A passenger in the vehicle, Paulo Salazar, reportedly suffered
non-life-threatening injuries.
Pastor finished
sixth in the 2013 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series championship standings, but had not
competed in the series this season. Investigators have reportedly ruled out
robbery as a motive, since none of Pastor's personal belongings were stolen.
It is unknown
whether the shooting is related to racing.
