TWO YOUTHS were arrested yesterday for allegedly shooting and killing Jerome Wariner, a 24-year-old accounting student, in Quezon City. The victim sustained several gunshot wounds in the back and was declared dead on arrival at the Quezon City General Hospital. Police said Wariner was having drinks with friends at around 1 a.m. Saturday when the suspects, Agustin Charles Delfin and Michael John Heteroza, both 19, came on board a motorcycle and talked to the victim. Delfin allegedly drew a gun and shot the victim, then fled with his friend aboard their motorcycle. They were arrested at their respective homes since Wariner’s friends knew who they were. Julie M.
