CEBU CITY, Philippines — A 26-year-old man did not live to see the next episode of the popular teleserye “Ang Probinsyano” this evening of July 18.
Jason Alonzo of Barangay Labangon, Cebu City died in the hospital after a motorcycle-riding gunman shot him at past 7 p.m. outside a billiard hall along Katipunan Street in Barangay Labangon, said Captain Jonathan Dela Cerna, Labangon Police Precinct deputy precinct commander, in an interview with CDN Digital.
Dela Cerna said that Alonzo was waiting outside the “billiard hall” for his favorite teleserye, “Ang Probinsyano” to be shown on TV when a man wearing a ball cap arrived.
He said the man pulled out a gun and shot Alonzo in the chest, who still managed to run away from his assailant.
Alonzo, however, fell to the ground after he reached a motorcycle parts store nearby.
The gunman did not pursue the wounded Alonzo but fled the area.
Alonzo was rushed to the hospital for treatment, but he died hours later.
Police were still investigating the killing of Alonzo./dbs
