Death

On June 12, 2014, Pastor died from gunshot wounds after motorcycle-riding gunmen ambushed the truck he rode on in Quezon City, which left his assistant, Paolo Salazar, injured. Pastor was travelling to Clark, Pampanga, in preparation for the final leg of the 2014 Asian V8 Championship Series season.{{cite news|title=PH racer Enzo Pastor shot dead in Quezon City|url=http://motioncars.inquirer.net/29395/ph-racer-enzo-pastor-shot-dead-in-quezon-city|accessdate=13 June 2014|publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer|date=13 June 2014}}

The Police arrested the suspected mastermind behind the death of Enzo Pastor. Businessman Domingo de Guzman III was arrested on August 26, 2014 in Muntinlupa and was taken into custody at Camp Karingal. Earlier on August 23, suspect and policeman Edgar Angel was arrested and admitted that he was hired by de Guzman to kill Pastor.

"Love triangle" is being viewed as a possible motive for the killing. De Guzman allegedly had relations with Enzo Pastor's wife, Dalia Guerrero Pastor. Enzo Pastor's widow was also tagged as a suspect by the police.{{Cite web|url=http://www.spin.ph/motorsports/news/two-suspects-in-murder-of-race-car-driver-enzo-pastor-arrested-by-police-racing-motorsports-murder-crime-race-car-champion-nascar|title=Businessman, Pasay City cop arrested for slaying of race car driver Enzo Pastor}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.spin.ph/motorsports/news/wife-of-slain-racing-champion-enzo-pastor-among-supects-behind-his-killing-dahlia-guerrero-pastor-enzo-pastor-tom-pastor-sandy-de-guzman-edgar-angel-police-investigation-crime-pnp-motorsports-racing-race-car-crime|title=In shocking twist, police link Enzo Pastor's wife to slaying of car racing champion}}{{Cite web|url=http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/376609/news/metromanila/authorities-looking-for-enzo-pastor-s-wife-tags-her-as-suspect|title=Authorities looking for Enzo Pastor's wife, tags her as suspect|date=August 27, 2014 }} In 2024, the Supreme Court upheld the finding of probable Cause and revived the arrest warrant against Dahlia.{{cite news |last1= Punzalan|first1= Jamaine |title=After SC revives Enzo Pastor slay case, parents seek his widow's arrest|url= https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/10/4/-time-to-act-after-sc-revives-enzo-pastor-slay-case-parents-ask-gov-t-to-arrest-his-widow-918|accessdate=October 5, 2024 |work=ABS-CBN |date=October 4, 2024}}{{efn |Decision in G.R.
