Police investigators of the Talisay City Police Office (TCPO) are now looking for three suspects in the killing of incumbent Lagtang Barangay Councilman Art Stephen Bas.
The 24-year-old councilman of Barangay Lagtang, Talisay City, Cebu was shot dead inside a white Ford Everest vehicle along Cebu South Coastal Road at past 8 a.m. on Friday (July 20).
Bas, a mechanical engineering student, was scheduled to graduate in October this year.
SPO4 Frederick Larrobis, Talisay City police investigator, said that witnesses saw the suspects riding on separate motorcycles.
“Gitung-an g’yud ang biktima. Ang backrider ang nipusil as witnesses account,” said Larrobis.
The police were able to recover 15 empty shells at the crime scene.
