SAN PEDRO CITY — A barangay tanod (watchman) was shot and killed over what seemed to be a traffic altercation in Dasmariñas City in Cavite province on Sunday.

In a police report, Ricohermoso said Sarilama and his nephew, Abdul Khair Jaffar, were on their way home on a tricycle around 3 a.m. when they had to stop because of a closed van truck parked on the road.

Sarilama reportedly got off to ask the truck driver to move his vehicle away but the motorists ended up arguing. It was when the truck driver drew a gun and shot the victim on his chest.
