Barangay 205 Chairman Alberto Muñoz said residents were alerted by the sound of gunfire early in the morning.
“Nagulat na lang kami noong bandang 4:15 a.m. may pumutok, narinig ng isang kagawad namin. Pinuntahan nila. Nakita nga, may nakahandusay na roon. Tinamaan po banda rito (ibaba ng mata) sa parang pisngi,” Muñoz said.
The victim was not a resident of the barangay. Authorities said the alleged gunman lives in a neighboring barangay and works at an air-conditioning repair shop.
Muñoz said police were able to identify the suspect after immediately tracing his identity through inquiries in the area.
“‘Yung suspek wala na riyan kasi na-trace agad ng mga kapulisan natin kung sino ‘yung tao na ‘yun. Napagtanung-tanungan diyan, nakilala siya,” Muñoz said.
Barangay 205 Kagawad Ramil Mamangon said the suspect buys second-hand appliances for a living and had allegedly experienced repeated theft of vehicle parts.
“‘Yung lalaking namaril, namimili ng mga kalakal, ng mga second-hand aircon, ref ‘yun ang hanapbuhay nu’n. So malimit siya dating ninanakawan, ‘yung mga wiring sa ilalim ng sasakyan, tuwing mag-start siya ng sasakyan wala nang mga wiring, battery. May nakapagsabi sa kaniya na itong tao na ito ‘yung malimit na nagnanakaw talaga,” Mamangon said.
The victim had reportedly only recently been released from prison after serving time for a theft-related offense.
In another report, a police officer died after a speeding SUV crashed into a roadside barricade while he was on duty in Barangay Butuay, Misamis Occidental. CCTV footage captured the moment the officer was struck by the vehicle. Authorities later found that the SUV driver failed an alcohol breathalyzer test following the crash. The driver is facing complaints for reckless imprudence resulting in ho*micide and driving under the influence of alcohol.
Meanwhile, a motorcycle rider died after crashing into a parked heavy truck in Binalonan, Pangasinan, in a separate late-night road accident. Investigators said the truck had been temporarily parked along the highway after its driver stopped to rest. Emergency responders brought the injured rider to a nearby hospital, but he later died from his injuries. Traffic authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
