The victim identified by the police as Anjie Cesar, 28, of Brgy. Sikatuna, Isabela, died on the spot from multiple gunshot wounds.
PCapt. Hansel Lumandaz, officer-in-charge of the Moises Padilla Police Station, said yesterday that Cesar was shot by the three suspects, who were reported to be in their early 20s, after he was asked for water to drink.
Lumandaz said Cesar and his brother, JR, and a certain Kristopher Zaragosa were sitting in front of their house, when they were approached by the three suspects, who shot the victim in the back.
Two empty shells of a .45 caliber pistol and a pouch for a .38 caliber revolver were recovered at the crime scene by the Moises Padilla police, who were beefed up by troopers of the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company, in the investigation of the incident.
Lumandaz said the eyewitness to the incident told them that the suspects are NPA members.
He also said that they are verifying reports that the victim used to be a former rebel, who was allegedly facing complaints of being “maoy (crazed)” in the barangay, whenever he got drunk.
Brig. Gen. Benedict Arevalo, 303rd Infantry Brigade commander, yesterday debunked claims that the victim was a military asset, and said the victim may have been liquidated for getting out from the NPA organization.
Meanwhile, a certain Robert Mariposa is now being treated for his injuries at the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in Bacolod City, after he was shot yesterday allegedly by Elvie Sanipa in Sitio Capaclan, Brgy. Inayawan, Cauayan.
Mariposa was hit in the left arm and chest, after he was shot by the suspect with a homemade shotgun, the Cauayan police said.
Sanipa remained at-large as of press time.
