CEBU CITY — A 33-year old anti-crime volunteer died on the spot after he was shot by two unidentified motorcycle-riding assailants inside a jeepney terminal in Barangay Pajo, Lapu-Lapu City at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The victim was identified as Roldan Fuentes, of Barangay Pajo, Lapu-Lapu City, and a member of the “Allied Force,” an anti-crime group organized by Basak Barangay Chairman Isabelito Darnayla, said PO2 Joseph Rouel Cutanda, homicide investigator of the Lapu-Lapu City police.
The victim’s brother admitted that Roldan used to be a drug user but quit the habit, he said.
Cutanda said Fuentes sustained gunshot wounds in the head, nape and arms.
Police also found spent shells from a .45-pistol at the crime scene. SFM
