Fedil “Junior” Yocte, a resident of Sitio Upper Lageurta in Barangay Lahug, Cebu City, was killed by two unknown gunmen in Sitio Sudlon, Barangay Maguikay in Mandaue City past 7 p.m.

Yocte was on his way home after his work in Nutri Asia Company in Maguikay.

According to the bystanders in the area, the suspects appeared behind Yocte and immediatel­y shot him.

Yocte suffered a gunshot wound in his nape and was declared dead by one of the responding personnel of Emergency Rescue Unit Foundation.

Two empty shells of .45 pistol were found in the crime.
