Rogelio Sabagala, 32, a native of Cebu province and mechanic of the National Power Corp. (NPC), died of a gunshot wound inflicted by suspect John Irwin Palomero of Lutero Street, Janiuay, Iloilo.
Sabagala and companion Reynaldo Baja, 23, of Puerto Galera, Mindoro were alighting from a passenger jeepney at Brgy. Bo. Obrero, Lapuz when Palomero shot them with a caliber .45 pistol.
While Sabagala was hit in his right leg, the bullet shot upward his body and damaged his vital organs resulting in his death. Baja was slightly wounded and was released from the hospital after treatment.
Concerned passengers and citizens ganged up on Palomero and placed him under citizens’ arrest.
SPO3 Jessie Cabial, LaPaz police investigator, said Palomero did not like the way the victims stared at him.
Palomero is now detained at the LaPaz police station.
