Man shot dead in Danao City
CEBU, Philippines - A 28-year-old man was shot dead by two men on board a motorcycle outside his house in Barangay Bato, Danao City yesterday night.
The victim, Nonilo Castro Ruelo Jr., was shot while talking with his live-in partner around 7:45pm. He sustained a gunshot wound on his forehead.
SPO1 Ildefonso Prosia of the Danao Police said the suspects drove near Ruelo’s house pretending to ask for directions, but when Ruelo approached them, the man riding in pillion disembarked and shot Ruelo head on. The bullet exited through the victim’s nape.
The two suspects immediately fled towards Liloan town. Witnesses said the motorcycle did not have a plate number and was driven by a certain “Jojo”.
Prosia said residents in the area saw suspects keeping an eye on Ruelo a few meters away before driving near his house and killing him.
“Ma-klaro nga kaila niya ang suspect kay murag familiar sa iyang lihok,” he said.
Investigation is ongoing to determine the motive of the shooting and to arrest the suspects. – (FREEMAN)
