Man shot by father, kin of girl he "slept" with

CEBU - A 20-year-old jobless man landed in the hospital when the angry father and a relative of the girl who he allegedly slept with took turns in shooting him in barangay Talamban, Cebu City last Tuesday night.

Kyle Limotan, 20, a resident of sitio Tigbao, barangay Talamban sustained two gunshot wounds when Samuel Villahermosa, 47, a taxi driver and residing in sitio Baca, barangay Banilad and his relative who was only identified as “Lando” shot him at around 8:30 p.m.

Limotan, who was investigated by the elements of the Homicide Section of the Cebu City Police Office while he was being treated at North General Hospital, said he was on his way home when he was met and informed by his friend, Bryan Miñoza, that two people were looking for him.

When Limotan approached the two suspects, Villahermosa allegedly asked him where his 16-year-old daughter was but the victim replied that she might be at her grandmother’s house as what she told him when they parted ways after an outing the day before.

Without any warning, Villahermosa allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot Limotan hitting the left portion of his body.

The victim said he tried to run away but Lando also fired at him hitting the right side of his back.

Upon seeing Limotan fell to the ground, the two suspects immediately fled into the darkness while the victim’s friends brought him to the hospital on board a motorcycle for treatment.

Responding policemen recovered one empty shell of caliber 45 pistol and one empty shell of .9 mm pistol in the crime scene.

Police said Villahermosa was angry because his daughter allegedly did not go home on Monday night and many were telling him that she spent the night with Limotan.

The victim, who is currently recuperating in the hospital, has not yet decided if he would file charges against the suspects.  — Ferliza C. Contratista/WAB (THE FREEMAN)
