AN INDIAN businessman was killed while his companion was seriously wounded after they were both shot by their neighbor during a heated argument Saturday night.
Senior Insp. Elmer Ragay, chief of the Intelligence and Investigation Division of the Baguio City Police Office, identified the fatality as Malket Singh, 45, a resident of South Central Aurora Hill.
Ragay said Singh sustained a gunshot wound on his stomach and died while being rushed to the Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center.
He also named the wounded as Gurender Singh, 25, also an Indian national, who is now in critical condition at the BGHMC due to a gunshot wound in the chest.
Police identified the suspect as Aldrin Flores. Ragay said a manhunt operation is now ongoing to arrest the suspected gunman.
Authorities are also investigating the motive behind the shooting incident even as initial investigations showed that the victims and the suspect figured in a heated argument along the corner of Tacay and Ferguson Road around 11:45 p.m. HFP
