It was learned through an initial investigation by the town police that the victim was last seen having a heated argument with an unidentified person in front of the bar.

In Nabua town, the motive for the killing of Erwin Gada, 39, and resident of Barangay Inapatan remains unclear even to police investigators.

According to the Nabua town police, the victim was shot in a waiting shed dead using a caliber .45 pistol in front of his wife and children by two unidentified assailants at about 5:45 in the afternoon on Sunday.

The police believe that the gunshot wound in the victim's mouth proves that the assailants shot the victim at at close range.

In Naga City, residents of Barangay Balatas along Kayanga Road was alarmed after hearing consecutive gunshots very early in the morning today.

The vehicle sustained broken rear glass windows. Recovered in the crime scene were 13 bullet shells and a deformed slug of a caliber .45 pistol.

In the wake of recent criminality, the spokesperson of Naga City Police Office, P03 Tobias Bongon, confirmed that Naga City Police Director Edwin Jose Nemenzo would leave his post in July and would be transferred to Camp Crame.
