A backhoe operator was shot dead while his two companions escaped a gunman in sitio Laray, barangay Inayawan in Cebu City at past 8 p.m. last Tuesday.
Ricardo Fernandez, 36, of Dumanjug town was shot in the neck. He was riding a trisikad with two companions when they were overtaken by motorcycle-riding assailants.
The back-rider blocked their path a few meters away. The trisikad driver and Fernandez’s companions got out and ran, leaving the victim. Fernandez had just come from Talisay City at the time. Two empty shells from a .45 pistol were recovered at the crime scene. Homicide investigator Junimark Ungab said the motive of the violence was not known.
