PAGADIAN CITY – Motorcycle gunmen killed a provincial board member in Misamis Occidental in southern Philippines in a daring attack Thursday in Ozamiz City, police said.
Police said at least 4 gunmen were involved in the fatal shooting of Roland Romero, who was a former vice mayor in Ozamiz City. The assailants escaped after shooting Romero outside a pawnshop.
He was shot several times by the men who were all armed with .45-caliber pistols. The motive of the killing is still unknown, but police immediately launched an investigation into the murder.
Romero was also accused by the media watchdog National Union of Journalists of the Philippines in 2013 of harassing a television crew of Ronda Balita covering the elections in Ozamiz. The politician grabbed the crew’s camera equipment and threatened them after a failed interview. (Mindanao Examiner)
