BACOLOD City – A man was shot to death while another was injured by a stray bullet at Purok Kawayan, Barangay Banago here early Tuesday.
Killed was Mark Alob, 29, while wounded was Ryan Albarico, 33, both residents of the said village.
Police Major Ruel Culanag, head of Police Station 3, said Alob was standing at the alley around 1 a.m. when three unidentified men approached and allegedly shot him at close range.
Albarico was hit by a stray bullet on his back because he was also in the area when the shooting happened. The three assailants then fled.
Culanag said Alob and Albarico were rushed to a hospital, but Alob later expired at 2:35 a.m. due to gunshot wounds on his forehead and chest.
Albarico suffered minor injuries and is still confined at Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital here.
Culanag said some witnesses identified one of the assailants as Fritz Diosanta, 29, of the said village.
He said they already have the identities of the two other suspects but he refused to divulge their names as of press time while investigation is ongoing.
Culanag said the incident might be drug-related.
“It can be grudge over a failed drug transaction. We are still validating reports and the identities of the persons involved,” he added.
The three suspects are still at large.
