Man slain in front of house A man, who was just waiting for his sister to arrive from work, was gunned down by motorcycle-riding men in front of their house in Caloocan City early Friday morning. Jon Carson, 38, jobless, of Barangay 186, died on the spot due to five gunshot wounds in the head and shoulder, said case investigator PO1 Eddielou Alon. Alex Colonel, 34, Carson's friend, told police that they were just sitting in front of the victim's house when two men on a motorcycle arrived and fired shots towards Carson around 2:30 a.m. Colonel said that Carson was just waiting for his sister to arrive from work when the incident happened. On a CCTV footage, the gunmen, who then fled, were seen wearing red and black jackets. Sr. Insp. Dennis Odtuhan, North Caloocan police Investigation chief, said they are still clueless on the motive behind the killing, saying Carson had no involvement in illegal drugs. (Kate Louise Javier) Girl sells through Facebook A 13-year-old girl, who allegedly sells illegal drugs through Facebook, was nabbed after she was caught holding sachets of marijuana leaves in Caloocan City on Friday. SPO2 Peter Joseph Villanueva, investigator on the case, said the girl who is an out-of-school youth and a resident of Daang Bakal Street in Barangay 63, admitted that she sells marijuana leaves through Facebook messenger. Initial investigation showed that a concerned citizen reported to the barangay watchmen about the girl who was holding sachets containing suspected dried marijuana leaves beside a basketball court on Daang Bakal Street around 4:30 p.m. Responding barangay watchmen then seized from the minor a pouch containing 13 sachets of suspected marijuana leaves worth P1,300.00. "The girl tried to run away but barangay watchmen were able to apprehend her," Villanueva said. The minor was turned-over to the Caloocan police where she then opened her Facebook messenger showing her transactions. The girl is now in the custody of the City Social Welfare Development for proper disposition.
