A woman died on the spot after she was shot in the head by suspects on board a motorcycle in Purok Lampirong, Barangay 2, Bacolod City, around noon today, Nov. 3.
P/Lt. Jonito Pastrana, Bacolod Police Station 1 commander, did not name the victim but said she was allegedly a commercial sex worker and that her customers had complained of missing items.
The investigators are also pursuing other angles, including her personal transactions, Pastrana added.
Initial investigation showed that the victim was walking on the side of the road, when the suspects on board a motorcycle shot her at close range. The bullet exited at the back of her head and caused her instantaneous death.
She was single and from La Castellana, Negros Occidental, the police said.
The suspects fled toward BREDCO Port and follow-up operation is ongoing for their possible identification and arrest, Pastrana added. — MML
