BACOLOD CITY – A 29-year-old woman, reportedly an asset of the police, was gunned down by two motorcycle-riding suspects in Barangay Banago on Maundy Thursday.
Police Capt. Rosalino Pugoy Jr., commander of Police Station 3, identified the victim as Bebe, who was riding a tricycle on her way home when the assailants appeared and shot her in the back. She was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
Authorities noted that the victim had no prior police record, although a family member had previously been jailed for a drug-related offense. Investigators suspect that she may have been targeted for allegedly serving as an informant in the campaign against illegal drugs.
A follow-up investigation is ongoing to determine the motive and identify the perpetrators. (Glazyl Masculino)
