Gunmen kill Zambales village exec
A group of gunmen shot dead 44-year-old village councilman Wednesday night in Zambales, the latest act of violence against local politicians eyeing a seat in the October 29 barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.
Armando Jimenez, an incumbent official of Purok 1, Barangay Naugsol, sustained multiple bullet wounds to the body.
Police said the victim was resting inside his convenience store when three gunmen shot him at 10:30 p.m.
The assailants casually walked away from the crime scene after the shooting.
Investigators recovered 45 spent shells from .45 pistols at the crime scene.
Jimenez was said to be among the supporters of the New People’s Army in Zambales.
Prior to the incident Wednesday night, Jimenez filed his certificate of candidacy on October 15 to run for a second term as councilman.
An investigation is underway to determine if the murder was related to Jimenez's political plans. ABS-CBN NEWS With a report from Jeff Tombado
