Man in Talisay shot dead in vigil wake
A MAN was shot dead while attending the vigil wake of a friend in barangay Valladolid, Carcar City, southern Cebu at dawn yesterday.
Investigators are checking if the killing of Arman Alcoy had something to do with his affiliation with the police as a civilian asset.
Police said Alcoy was playing a card game when an unidentified man appeared from behind and shot him in the head then fired the gun in the air several times before disappearing in the dark.
