The fatality was identified as Jonathan Delima Cose, 42, a widower and a resident of the said place.
Witnesses told SPO3 Rey Cuyos of the city police Homicide Section that the assailants were onboard a red motorcycle, the passenger was wearing a white shirt.
Police said that Cose, a native of Laguna who works as an electrician of a construction firm in the city, was drinking beer with his co-workers Joel Bermundo, 32, and Dante Torremocha, 30, at a videoke store when the incident happened.
Witnesses told Cuyos that while they were drinking, the suspects arrived and stopped right in front of them and the passenger pulled out a handgun and shot Cose once.
The gunshot scattered the group but the victim never rose from where he fell as the assailants drove their motorcycle towards the port area.
PO2 Dindo Lumapak and PO2 Edwin Maynela of the Mobile Patrol Group responded to the alarm and brought Cose to the Cebu City Medical Center where he was declared dead on arrival. The victim's 16-year-old son told the police that he does not know anyone who had a grudge against his father because the victim only arrived from Manila a few days ago.
Inspector Mario Monilar chief of the Homicide Section told The FREEMAN that they are looking into the possibility that the motive might be connected to the victim's job, but he added that they will also look into the background of the victim.
