BARANGAY tanod was shot dead by his neighbor in barangay Malolos, Barili town, southwest Cebu.
Richie Caballes, 28, succumbed to a gunshot wound in the chest. He died while being brought to a hospital.
The suspect, Andrew Marabillas, remains at large.
Police investigation revealed that Caballes was waiting for a ride in front of a sari-sari store when Marabillas arrived and slapped his head twice.
Caballes retaliated by punching Marabillas in the abdomen.
The two traded blows until Marabillas whipped out a gun and shot the victim, said PO2 Pablito Caadlawon of the Barili police station.
Police said the two men had been at odds after an incident last March 20 where the tanod pacified the suspect’s wife who was arguing with a neighbor.
Police said Marabillas confronted the tanod for intervening.
An operation to arrest Marabillas is in progress, police said./Correspondent Joy Cherry Quito
