SAN CARLOS CITY–Another barangay official was shot dead here on November 5, just a couple of weeks after the slaying of the chairman of Barangay Mestizo Norte.

The latest victim was Barangay Kagawad Delfin Poquiz of Barangay Payapa who was shot dead while he and his live-in partner were on their way home from a wake at around 10 p.m.

Poquiz suffered several gunshot wounds in the chest and other parts of the body while his companion, Evelyn Zacarias, was wounded in the left leg and right ankle.

The gunman simply walked away from the crime scene and remains at large.

Investigators theorized the murder could be related to Poquiz’s business of buying and selling cattle.

Supt. Marlon Tayaba, chief of police of San Carlos City, said the suspect used a Cal. 45 pistol as evidenced by empty shells found near the crime scene.
