When they arrived at the councilman’s house, Sacyap invited the victim to sleep over. Rendon declined, causing an argument.

While arguing, Rendon allegedly took a knife and stabbed Sacyap in the neck. The councilman fought back by shooting Rendon thrice with a .38 caliber revolver, said PO2 Alexander Lerio of Argao police./ Correspondent Joy Cherry S. Quito
