A suspected drug pusher who was included in the drug watch list but never surrendered to the police was shot dead by an unidentified person in Barangay Subangdaku, Mandaue City on Wednesday night.
Amado Colina, 44, of Sitio Nawanaw, Barangay Subangdaku, was brought to Mandaue City Hospital at 9 p.m. last Wednesday after sustaining a single gunshot wound in the chest.
SPO2 Remegio Arciaga, investigator of Subangdaku Police Station, revealed that the victim was sleeping at the second floor of his house when an unidentified man wearing a helmet barged in and shot him once in the chest, resulting to his death. The assailant fled on board a waiting motorcycle.
In Barangay Cubacub, a suspected drug pusher was arrested by the police last Wednesday at 11 p.m. by virtue of a search warrant issued by Judge Teresita Dadole-Ygnacio against Eleunito Lopez, 35, a motorcycle-for-hire driver and cousin of Cubacub Barangay Captain Almario Bihag.
Seized from the suspect were alleged shabu worth around P13,000, drug paraphernalia and nine live bullets of .38 revolver. Lopez admitted owning the bullets only as souvenir, but disowned the shabu and drug paraphernalia.
