In barangay Pahina San Nicolas, a 35-year-old vulcanizing shop worker was shot by his uncle after they had a fistfight.
Webster Villegas was shot in his upper right thigh.
The suspect, Bernabe Crystal, 46, a member of the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team (BPAT) of the Cebu City Police Office, surrendered to police after the incident.
Police said the men had a fistfight after Villegas tried to pacify his uncle when he ran amok outside his house past 11 p.m.
Crystal went inside his house when neighbors intervened but Villegas threw stones at Crystal as he left.
This prompted Crystal to shoot Villegas from the window of his house.
“Crystal said that he and Villegas argued,” said SPO1 Ruth Violango of the Cebu City Police Office.
“Villegas said he was angry with Crystal because he often runs amok every time he gets drunk,” Violango added.
Crystal is detained at the CCPO pending the filing of charges against him./ REPORTER RHEA RUTH V. ROSELL
