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
