Cheers for Dr. Zuellig
For singing out of tune, a jobless man was shot dead by a security guard of a videoke bar at the height of an argument in
The victim, Romy Baligula, 29, was shot in the chest and was pronounced dead on arrival in a local hospital.
Senior Superintendent Felipe Rojas, acting Rizal police director, said the suspect, Robilito Ortega, 43, was arrested by responding policemen and yielded a caliber .38 revolver with five live bullets.
Rojas said Baligula and his companions were having a drinking spree at the Jullives KTV bar where Ortega worked as a security guard.
Prior to the incident, Ortega approached the table of Baligula’s group and shook hands with each of them, apparently in a show of friendship.
When Baligula started to sing, Ortega even danced to the tune. But when the song progressed, the suspect reportedly commented that the victim was out of tune, triggering a verbal tussle.
At the height of the argument, Ortega pulled out his service firearm and opened fire at Baligula before fleeing.
Rojas said policemen patrolling the area heard the gunshots and responded to the scene and eventually arrested Ortega.
