The victim, who was armed with a bladed weapon, was shot with a homemade shotgun, or “sumpak,” after he allegedly returned to the scene to confront the suspect.
The deadly altercation began as a simple confrontation between two individuals who were reportedly under the influence of alcohol.
According to an interview with GMA News’ EJ Gomez, the incident took place while both parties were buying ice cream.
Police Captain Christian Rex de Guzman, the chief investigator of the Los Baños Police, stated that the victim, along with his companions, seemingly ganged up on the suspect during their initial heated exchange.
The situation escalated when the victim left and returned with a group of friends, all allegedly armed with bladed weapons.
Video footage of the incident, which has since gone viral, shows a woman desperately trying to hold back the advancing group.
Despite her efforts, the confrontation could not be stopped. Moments later, a shot was heard, and the victim collapsed after being hit by a single bullet.
He was rushed to a local hospital, where he underwent an operation, but sadly succumbed to his injuries.
Captain De Guzman explained the sequence of events, saying, “Itong si victim natin dumating nang lasing at parang kumbaga nakursunadahan nitong kabilang party. Si suspek natin, parang napagtulungan, nakuyog. Pagkatapos nagkaroon ng resbak,” Police recovered several bladed weapons from the scene, including a sickle, which suggests the premeditated nature of the victim’s group’s return.
However, the homemade firearm used by the suspect was not found, as he immediately fled the scene after the shooting.
The Los Baños Police are actively searching for the suspect, whose identity has not been released to the public.
They have also called on the community to provide any information that could lead to his arrest. Meanwhile, the victim's family has issued a public plea for the suspect to surrender, hoping for justice and closure.
No statement has been released from the suspect's family. This incident highlights the prevalence of illegal firearms in the area and serves as a somber reminder of how quickly seemingly minor conflicts can turn deadly.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities continue their pursuit of the suspect and the illegal firearm.
