Vargas said that an unidentified person entered the computer shop and shot Diaz in the chest.
A patron of the computer shop John Divinagracia, 26, of Barangay Mandalagan here, was hit by a stray bullet.
Diaz was declared dead in a hospital while Divinagracia was taken to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital here.
Vargas said they are looking into a failed illegal drug transaction as possible motive in the incident since Diaz allegedly had illegal drug debt.
Police said Diaz was released from jail through plea bargaining.
Vargas said they already have a person of interest.
