The warrant of arrest was intended for Gilbert Saysay Concepcion, leader of Concepcion Criminal Group and a Most Wanted Person in the Bicol region who faces multiple charges of murder, rape and direct assault.
Another target for arrest was Gilbert’s brother, Emmanuel Saysay Concepcion, who is allegedly second leader of the group, also facing murder charges and violation of RA 10591, or illegal possession of firearms.
According to police report, instead of surrendering, the suspects suddenly fired at the operatives resulting to exchange of gunfire that caused the death of Emmanuel Concepcion, and another unidentified group member.

The Concepcion gang is also active in gun running, as a gun-for-hire , and private armed group during elections.
