The Lapu-Lapu police said they will be filing homicide charges today against the two security guards and an employee tagged in the shooting to death of a woman subdivision resident in Lapu-Lapu City last Friday evening.
Grand Pacific Villa Subdivision employee Randy Emborong and security guards Rodulfo Cavalida and Elmer Villarba, now in hiding, are tagged as suspects in the death of Rose Ann La Paz.
She was shot down after she argued against their refusal to allow entry to her vehicle in the subdivision because it didn’t have a homeowner’s sticker.
Homicide section chief Insp. Zenaido Pastorfide said they asked for the licenses of the security agencies hired by the subdivision but until now they haven’t heard from them.
Pastorfide said they will report the agencies to FESSAGSS for possible cancellation of operations if they still haven’t submitted a report after the case was filed.
According to the Philippine Association of Detective and Protective Agency Operator (PADPAO) Inc. website, the license of St. Louis Security Agency will expire on April 2012 while that of E and R or Eagle Rock Security Agency Corp. expired in November 2009.
Yesterday afternoon, the two sons of La Paz—Buenjer Acoril, 20, and Harmony Acoril, 9—and her British national husband Steven Mack, 69, executed their affidavits.
Buenjer stated that he was a few meters away from his mother when she was shot by Emborong, who grabbed the shotgun from Cavalida during a heated altercation between them. His younger brother Harmony was in car.
Steven Mack was in their house when the incident occured. “Randy (Emborong) was a nice guy, how come he did this?” Mack said.
Mack said they were busy that’s why they failed to secure a homeowner’s sticker for their new Mitsubishi Montero./NORMAN V. MENDOZA
