Two jeepney drivers were shot to death by two unidentified motorcycle-riding gunmen in Marikina City on Saturday, police reported.
Police identified the victims as Candido Siarot, and Roberto Cadacio, both residents of Cupang, Antipolo City.
Investigation showed that at about 12:34 a.m., Siarot and Cadacio were shot by two armed men while they were busy fixing a jeepney on Panorama St. in Barangay Concepcion Dos.
Siarot and Cadacio died on the spot, while the gunmen immediately fled aboard a motorcycle.
Police learned that just hours before the incident, the two victims had an argument with a certain “Romy”, reportedly a former member of PASMAJODAI, a jeepney operators and drivers’ organization.
Police are now conducting a follow-up probe to apprehend the perpetrators and to know the motive behind the killing. (Jel Santos)
