Marlon Randoy, 28 and a resident of Barangay Maghaway in Talisay, was driving his motorcycle when he was shot in the head along the national highway by an unidentified assailant who was riding on a separate motorcycle.
The police later found three spent shells in the crime scene. A loaded pistol was found tucked on Randoy’s waist.
SPO3 Yvonne Illustrisimo, homicide investigator of Talisay police, said the victim was a small time drug peddler.
He said a text message found in Randoy’s cellular phone showed that the victim had a fight with someone whom the police declined to identify pending investigation.
Illustrisimo said the text message read: “Mag-unay na lang ta ani (We would end up fighting each other).”
