A SUSPECTED drug pusher was shot dead around 1 a.m. yesterday in Barangay Guinacot, Danao City.

Arnold Hermosilla Barrega, 48, died instantly after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds in the body.

Senior Insp. Alejandro Batobalonos, chief of Danao City police station, said the victim was already sleeping at the living room of their house when three unidentified men who were wearing masks barged in and shot the victim several times. The assailants then fled, leaving a piece of paper with a message “pusher, wag tularan.”

Batobalonos said the victim was included in their drug watch list but never surrendered through “Oplan Tokhang.”
