A MAN was shot dead a month after he was released from jail in barangay La Purisima Concepcion, Bogo City, northern Cebu.

Police said Vicente Ybanez Soronio, 30, was shot shortly after arriving home with his daughter past 7 p.m. Thursday.

Police said Soronio had yet to get off from his motorcycle when two men on a motorcycle arrived and peppered him with bullets. Three spent shells of a .45 caliber pistol were recovered in the crime scene.

The assailants fled after the attack while Soronio was brought to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead.
