A 40-year-old mother and pharmacist was shot dead by an unidentified motorcycle-riding gunman along V. Rama Avenue in Barangay Calamba, Cebu City, shortly after 11 a.m. Tuesday, November 10.
The victim was identified as Marj, a resident of Barangay Guadalupe.
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage showed the jeepney carrying the victim stopping along the road before a motorcycle-riding suspect turned toward the vehicle.
The victim was shot after stepping out of the jeepney, based on the footage.
She was immediately rushed to a hospital but was pronounced dead after medical personnel failed to save her life.
Meanwhile, the victim’s family has pointed to a possible suspect in connection with the killing.
According to her child, the victim’s former partner had allegedly threatened in the past to shoot her.
The alleged threat has prompted the family to raise suspicions about the former partner’s possible involvement in the shooting.
However, authorities have yet to establish the identity of the gunman or confirm the alleged connection.
Police said the investigation is ongoing as they work to determine the circumstances surrounding the killing.
Authorities have not released further details about the suspect or the motive behind the fatal shooting.
