Police identified the victim as Armando Ceballos, 53, a
resident of Barangay Balila in Lantapan, and an independent candidate who was
running against Ernie Devibar in the town’s mayoral race.
Chief Supt. Jose Gentiles, regional police director in Northern Mindanao , said that the suspects were on board a
cargo truck as they entered the residential compound where Ceballos was living
and shot him in the back.
Prior to the shooting, the suspects, all wearing bonnets,
reportedly ordered all the household members and supporters to “drop on the
ground.”
He said
that the suspects fired several times hitting Ceballos on the face, which
caused his death two hours later in a downtown hospital in Cagayan De Oro City.
Gentiles said that the suspects reportedly carted away Php
90,000 cash and a .45 caliber pistols from the victim’s security personnel.
He said that the police are still determining whether the
shooting has something to do with the election on Monday.
