BACOLOD CITY – A 31-year-old driver allegedly involved in a love triangle was shot and wounded by two men onboard a motorcycle in Bangga Metal, Alijis-Murcia Road, Barangay Alijis here Sunday, June 26.

Police identified the victim as Kim Ryan Canillo of Barangay Handumanan here.

Police Capt. Elmer Bonilla, head of Police Station 7, said they are looking into love triangle as possible motive of the shooting since the victim had a problem with his relationship.

Bonilla said the victim had been separated from his wife and both already have new relationships.

Investigation showed the victim was walking and talking to someone on his cellular phone when two unidentified men onboard a motorcycle appeared.

One of them drew a gun and shot the victim in the neck. The gunman took his cellular phone and fled with his companion.

Bonilla said the victim was allegedly tailed from his house. He said they could not yet tell if the person on the phone could be the gunman or someone else.

He said they already have a person of interest in the incident but could not divulge more details as investigation is ongoing.

Canillo is the 12th and latest victim in the series of shooting incidents here this month. He is the first this week.
