Two motorcycle-riding suspects were reported to have been involved in the fatal shooting of Alfonso Palalon at his residence in Sitio Katubahan, Brgy. Mayabon, Zamboaguita town.
Initial police investigation showed that the Palalon, 41, was watching a television program in the porch of his house, when the gunman and his companion arrived, and shot him several times.
The victim, who succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, died on the spot, according to the police.
The two suspects immediately fled on board a motorcycle, a report of the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office said.
A day earlier, an unidentified gunman also shot a certain Anabel Sabanal at the national highway of Brgy. Mabigo, Canlaon City, Negros Oriental.
The motorcycle riding gunman fled towards Brgy. Panubigan in Canlaon City.
On Oct. 17 and 19, respectively, five persons also died in shooting incidents in Manjuyod and Siaton towns, with New People’s Army rebels tagged as suspects, and three others in Bayawan City, all in Negros Oriental.
But Col. Rizalino Gapas, officer-in-charge of the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office, earlier downplayed the killings, dismissing them as isolated cases, stressing also that they already have some persons of interest in them.
The killing spree in Negros Oriental on July, that claimed the lives of more than 20 persons, led to the relief of Col. Raul Tacaca as provincial police chief, and the creation of an anti-insurgency task force to address the insurgency problem in the province.
