Police Capt. Michael Tuburan, head of Police Station 9, said the victim was waiting for passengers when residents heard a gunshot. They went outside their houses and saw the victim on his tricycle with a head injury.
Gepelga was taken to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital (CLMMRH) here where he was declared dead.
Tuburan said the victim was a resident of Barangay 35 here before he moved to Barangay Cabug two months ago.
Three weeks ago, Gepelga was confronted by another tricycle driver because for getting passengers despite being a colorum or illegal public utility vehicle.
Tuburan said they have no witnesses on the incident but they are looking for closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera footages that can aid them in their investigation.
