A DRUG suspect was killed in a shootout with police while seven others were arrested in four separate drug operations in Lapu-Lapu City on Thursday.
Clifford Degolacion, 31, of Sunrise Village Purok Caimito in Barangay Gun-ob, Lapu-Lapu City, died after he was shot twice in the body during a buy-bust operation at 6 p.m.
Chief Insp. Jaime Tolentino, Station Commander of Hoops Dome Police Station, said they recovered several packs of suspected shabu estimated to be worth P354,000.
His wife, Joelly Jane Degolacion, 27; his mother, Alixis Degolacion, 50; and carpenter Argie Lacion, 32, of Cordova town, who were inside Degolacion’s house during the operation were also arrested.
