A 40-year-old man was shot dead while getting something from his motorcycle outside his house in Don Carlos, Bukidnon.

The suspect allegedly shot him several times.

The victim’s 72-year-old relative who was inside the house at that time was hit by a stray bullet but is now safe, as of this writing.

“Giabangan siya, pagsulod sa balay niya giabangan siya, nakita tung biktima directly gibaril diretso,” Bukidnon Police Provincial Office Spokesperson, Major Jayvee Babaan, said.

Investigators are eyeing land dispute as motive in the shooting.

“This incident is rooted siya sa land conflict between parties. Ang suspetsado parang claimant pud sa isa ka area in which itong mga biktima, is present occupant pud in that area,” Babaan added.

Authorities have identified persons of interest and continue to gather evidence in preparation for the filing of murder charges against the perpetrator.
