MANILA, Philippines - A gunman shot dead a former village chief inside her  house in Antipolo City Tuesday night, police said.

Authorities identified the victim as Rina Gabuna Junio, 50, former Sta. Cruz barangay captain and one of the campaign leaders of  losing Antipolo City mayoralty re-electionist Nilo Leyble.

Reports showed that  Junio was watching TV inside her residence at Sitio Kamias, Brgy. Sta. Cruz, when the gunman shot her around 8 p.m.

The bullet hit her  in the head and exited her right eye, the report added.

The victim was rushed to the Antipolo District Hospital but doctors could no longer revive the former barangay official.

The suspect  fled  on a motorcycle, police said.

Three days after the May 13 election, a campaign leader of Leyble, Boy San Pedro, was also shot  dead.

Police are still investigating if the previous shooting incident is related to Junio's death.
