CEBU, Philippines – Three men were on their way home from a disco when two of them were shot by an unidentified person at around 2:00 a.m. at Barangay Balirong, Naga City, Cebu yesterday.

Noe Tapaso Omambac, 24, a checker in Apo Cement and living in Barangay Lanas and Geraldo Niño Abalorio, 26 was on their way home with their friend Michael Canillo, 19, living in Barangay Uling, Naga City, Cebu.

Investigation revealed that the three were on their way home when the two decided to stop at a corner to pee.Canillo walked ahead when he suddenly heard a burst of gunfire and turned to see Noe lying on the road.

Out of fear, Canillo ran to seek for help but he then again heard another burst of gunfire. He went straight to the Naga Police Station and the police ran to the crime scene, but the gunman already fled.

The two victims were immediately taken to the Minglanilla District Hospital but they did not reach the hospital alive.

Noe sustained a gunshot wound at his nape that exited at his forehead while Geraldo had a gunshot wound on his chest that exited his back.

PO2 Ken Cabrera told The FREEMAN that Canillo was not able to see the suspect’s face. The assailant had a long hair and wore a red t-shirt and blue maong pants.

The bodies of the victims were brought to the Saint Francis Funeral Homes in Cebu City for autopsy.

Police are still conducting further investigation to identify the motive of the killing and possible arrest of the suspect. (THE FREEMAN)
