One dead, another wounded in separate shooting incidents

A man was killed and another one was injured in two separate shooting incidents in the province yesterday.

Romeo Quinadao, 32, of Sto. Niño, Balamban was shot dead by a man at 6:30 p.m. at Lawis, Luray II, Toledo City.

According to Police Officer 2 Jonathan Cuizon, initial investigation conducted by Senior Police Officer 4 Praxilo Albiso showed that the victim was having a conversation with his friend, Solomon Bayabos, in a bus terminal area.

Cuizon said the gunman approached Quinadao and shot him several times before taking off. The shooter later surrendered to the police. As of press time though, the police could not reveal the name of the suspect.

Meanwhile, a 19-yearold man sustained a gunshot wound after he was allegedly shot by his 16-year-old neighbor around 5 p.m. at Barangay Candulawan, Talisay City, Cebu.

According to Police Officer Christopher Cesa of Talisay City Police Station, Jason Lapena Baguio, 19, of Barangay Candulawan, Talisay City, Cebu, sustained a gunshot wound in the back part of his body.

Cesa said Baguio was on his way to bathe in the nearby river when his neighbor saw him and confronted him.

The minor reportedly accused Baguio of putting stolen shabu inside his house. Cesa said the victim denied the accusation but the minor pulled out an unknown caliber of firearm and shot the victim hitting the back portion of his body.

Lapena was brought to the Talisay District Hospital and was later referred to the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center.
