A tricycle driver died after he was shot multiple times by unidentified suspects in Taytay Alimango, Brgy. San Vicente, Binalbagan, Negros Occidental, on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
Killed was Allan Lourdes, 40, of Taytay Alimango, the police said.
It may have been a case of mistaken identity as the suspects were allegedly looking for a certain “Gary”, the police added.
Binalbagan Police Chief Jun Ray Batadlan said that the victim went to the bridge to get a phone signal when he was suddenly shot by the suspects.
The police said that the victim has a sibling who has the same physical features as him who is involved in the illegal drugs trade and was believed to be the supposed target of the suspects.*
