Police identified the victim as Jose Harold Taburnal of Brgy. Milibili here.
Investigation by the Roxas City PNP indicated that Taburnal was driving a motorcycle on his way home after a drinking session at his father’s house.
When he reached their house and was alighting from his motorcycle, he heard gunfire. He looked back and saw two unidentified persons.
He later realized that his left leg was already wounded. The victim immediately jumped from the motorcycle and hid in a canal.
