A member of City Government of Tagum’s Security Management Office (SMO) was shot and killed outside Tagum’s old city hall on Thursday.
The victim was identified as Ronnie Pascia, a resident of Barangay Madaum.
Police Regional Office 11 (PRO 11) Andrea dela Cerna told Edge Davao in an interview that the victim was at his post at the old City Hall along Rizal Street when shot at around 5 am by still an unidentified assailant.
“May nakapagsabi na witness na bumalik yung victim sa kanyang post to after ng break niya sa isang kalapit na bakery nung pinatay siya,” dela Cerna said, adding that Pascia suffered from gunshot wounds in different parts of the body and was declared dead on arrival at Davao Regional Medical Center in Tagum.
“It was figured out that Pascia was involved in a shooting incident last 2015 at the new City Hall complex in Apokon wherein one person was killed, pero nilipat lang siya sa another post instead na finilean siya ng kaso” dela Cerna said.
Dela Cerna added that the incident came 12 hours after unidentified shooters also killed an individual named Richard Aranquez at Tagum City public market.
