ILOILO – A 15-year-old boy was shot and killed by his employer after a heated altercation in Barangay Santol, San Dionisio, Iloilo.
The victim, identified as Alias Jose, was a student and a duck caretaker. The suspect, Alias Pedro, a 49-year-old farmer, is a resident of the same barangay.
In an interview with Bombo Radyo, Police Captain Edward Villanis, chief of the San Dionisio Municipal Police Station, stated that both the victim and the suspect were drinking.
During their drinking session, the suspect reportedly teased the victim by calling him “Alias Black.” Offended by the remark, the victim challenged the suspect to a knife fight.
The suspect then left, retrieved a firearm, and shot the victim in the left and right chest, with the bullets exiting through his back.
The suspect was later arrested after the barangay captain successfully negotiated his surrender.
He is now facing possible murder charges.
