TAGUM CITY, Davao del Norte—Unidentified assailants shot dead a confessed drug user here late Thursday, police said Friday.

Daniel Mendez, 30, died from several gunshot wounds after being attacked by two suspects on a motorcycle at Purok (Community) Malinawon in Barangay (Village) Magugpo East around 5:45 p.m., according to Supt. Laudemer Laude, city police chief.

The victim, who was among the more than 4,000 self-confessed drug personalities who had turned themselves in to authorities last August, was sitting on his parked motorcycle when shot by the suspects – who arrived on another motorbike, Laude said.
