A livestock caretaker was shot dead inside his house in Purok-4, Barangay Dalumay, Magsaysay, Davao del Sur on Saturday, police reported.
Police Major Laurence Conde, Magsaysay town police chief, said suspects on board a Red Skygo motorcycle arrived at the house of victim Douie Mamites Flores around 10:30 a.m., pretending to buy a turkey. Moments later, however, Flores was shot in his head and died on the spot.
A closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage installed near the site captured the image of the suspects fleeing towards Barangay Bacungan onboard their motorcycle after the shooting.
Scene of the crime operatives (Soco) recovered one fired cartridge of a .45 caliber gun and a bolo at the place of the incident. Conde urged those who knew something about the incident to come forward to expedite the resolution of the case.
Some sources claimed the attack could have something to do with the shooting incident at the Barangay Site of Dalumay six months ago that allegedly involved the victim.
Flores’ father confirmed his son had received death threats after the incident at the Dalumay Barangay site
