AUTHORITIES are tracking down the first councilor of Barangay Babag, Cebu City after he allegedly shot his cousin during a fight yesterday afternoon.

Renante Bacarisas is the subject of a police manhunt after he shot the meat supplier.

The Mabolo Police Station identified the victim as George Ibona, 36, who was rushed to a private hospital in the city after he sustained gunshot wounds in his arm and neck.

Ibona, a meat supplier, allegedly argued with the councilor near the Babag barangay hall.

He was allegedly shot twice by Bacarisas.

The incident was reported to the Mabolo Police at 1:44 p.m. yesterday.

Jasmin Navarro, a resident in the area, said the two had an argument because of the recently concluded barangay elections.

An investigation on the motive of the shooting is ongoing. (JOB, With PAC of SuperBalita
