BACOLOD City – Two persons were shot dead in separate incidents in Negros Occidental on Saturday.
In San Carlos City, Mark Roben Dejos, 26, of Barangay III, was gunned down at the said village.
Police records showed that Dejos was resting in his room when two unidentified armed men stormed inside their house and asked the victim’s wife if he was home.
Upon confirming his identity, the gunmen allegedly shot the victim three times while he was lying on the bed.
