Chief Insp. Bienvenido Reydado, CIDT head, identified the slain asset as Narciso Mendoza, 48, who acted as the lawmen’s guide towards the suspected hideout in the squatters’ area of Bgy. Amsic.

The suspect, identified as Robert Coronel, alias Rubbie, 27, died while hiding in a house of his cohorts due to a gunshot wound.

Investigation showed the CIDT received information that a certain Rubbie was firing a cal. .45 pistol near his residence. When responding lawmen arrived to arrest him, he fired at them, hitting Mendoza in the body.
