Cebu Guard Hunted for Ex-Girlfriend's Murder

Authorities in Cebu City are pursuing a security guard suspected of murdering his former girlfriend, who worked as a pharmacy attendant. The fatal shooting took place on Tuesday morning. Investigators believe the suspect, who was the victim's former boyfriend and co-worker, was motivated by rage stemming from their recently ended relationship.

CCTV footage recorded the victim alighting from a jeepney on her way to work in Barangay Calamba. The suspect arrived on a motorcycle, executed a U-turn, and confronted the victim before firing shots at close range. She sustained wounds to the head and neck and collapsed at the scene. The suspect fled on his motorcycle immediately after the incident. Police have not yet publicly identified the suspect as efforts to apprehend him continue.
