Buaya shooting

An unidentified gunman shot dead two jeepney dispatchers in barangay Buaya, Lapu-Lapu City yesterday.

Ven Casio, 23, and Jomar Amenita, 23, were standing at the side of the street in sitio Saac at past 6 p.m. when the assailant approached and shot them several times.

The assailant then casually walked away from the crime scene towards barangay Ibo.

At least 10 empty .45 caliber shells were also recovered from the area.

Police were looking into drugs and if the victims had crossed any drivers during their dispatching work as a motive in the killing. /Correspondent Norman V. Mendoza
