DIGOS CITY, Philippines ? One person was killed while another one remains in critical condition after they were shot by motorcycle-riding men near a police checkpoint in Malita, Davao del Sur, on Friday evening, the police said Saturday.
Supt. Victorina Mendez, Malita police chief, identified the fatality as Andres Doro, Jr. of King-king, Pantukan, Davao del Norte. Doro's wounded companion was identified as Amelito Ayento, a resident of Nabok village in Monkayo, Compostela Valley.
Mendez said the two were riding in tandem on a motorbike when they were attacked by two unidentified gunmen, who were also on a motorcycle, near a checkpoint of the Anti-Crime Task Force.
?We still don?t know the motive considering the victims were not from here (Malita). We are still in the process of investigation,? Mendez said.
