4 drug-linked men slain in Pasay, Parañaque

Four men were killed in separate shooting incidents in Pasay and Parañaque cities.

Romeo Joel Fontanilla, 37, was waiting for his live-in partner shortly before midnight Monday on Saint Mary Street, Maricaban, Pasay, when men on three motorcycles surrounded him and one of them shot him repeatedly.

In a report, PO3 Catalino Gazmen cited police records saying Fontanilla was a drug user who surrendered to authorities under Oplan Tokhang on July 21.

Also in Pasay, a man was found dead in a jeepney parking area in Barangay 146, near the corner of Edsa and Taft Avenue early Tuesday.

According to PO2 Christian Nero, a concerned citizen found the bullet-riddled body at Gisselle Park around 5 a.m.

The victim was known only to locals as Bong, a jeepney terminal barker and an alleged drug user, Nero said.

In Parañaque, residents Rogelio Ebrada and Crisentio Nepomuceno were shot dead by motorcycle-riding gunmen on Sta. Maria Street, San Antonio Valley 1, at 11:20 p.m. on Monday. —Dexter Cabalza
