ILOILO City – Motorcycle riding-in-tandem gunmen shot a tricycle driver in Barangay Minanga, Dueñas, Iloilo.
Thirty-eight-year-old Raymund Bilaong of Barangay Kapay-Kapay, Dueñas, a robbery suspect, sustained gunshot wounds on his shoulders and head.
As of press time, he was confined at the Western Visayas Medical Center in Iloilo City.
The shooting happened on Saturday around 11:30 a.m. Bilaong was driving his motorcycle.
There were two suspects, said Inspector Bonifacio Alabe, Dueñas police chief.
They were aboard a red Honda motorcycle and wearing black jackets and helmets.
