A Dumaguete City lawyer is in serious condition after he was shot by still unidentified gunmen just outside his home around 8:30 a.m. Friday at Ma. Asuncion Village in barangay Daro.

Atty. Ray J. Moncada, 74, went to his house’s gate to check on some visitors who pressed the buzzer.

But one of the two men, dressed in a black jacket and wearing a black helmet, brandished a gun. When Moncada saw the gun, he ran back to his house as the gunman shot at him.

Police said his daughter went out after hearing the explosions and found her bloodied father lying on the ground. The suspects fled westward along E.J. Blanco Road.

Scene of the Crime Operatives recovered five spent shells of cal. 45 bullets and one deformed slug from the scene of the crime. He was immediately brought to a local hospital, where doctors who operated on him said he remains in stable condition.

Police are investigating the motive of the shooter by digging into the cases he is handling. Dumaguete City Mayor Felipe Antonio Remollo immediately ordered the safeguarding of the City’s CCTV footages to see if the suspects could be identified.

In May 2013, Moncada’s house was also hit by an explosion of an Improvised Explosive Device, although nobody was injured at that time. (Irma Faith Pal)
