Irked by advice, uncle ‘shoots’ nephew in Pavia

ILOILO City – Would you take an advice from your nephew if they’re older than you?

The 25-year-old Tommy Canja didn’t.

Canja, a resident of Barangay Supanga, Calinog, Iloilo, was a suspect in the fatal shooting of his 30-year-old nephew Epifanio Gengaray.

Gengaray died of a gunshot wound on the body at the Western Visayas Medical Center in Mandurriao district here.

The shooting happened in Barangay Ungka I, Pavia town where Gengaray lived on Sunday, a police report stated.

At around 8:15 p.m. Gengaray told Canja to leave his live-in partner because she was married, police said, citing witnesses.

Irked by the remark, Canja shot his nephew using a 12-gauge shotgun, said the police.

The suspect fled after the incident. He remains at large as of this writing, police added./PN
