A branch manager of a recruitment agency in Cebu City was shot by an unidentified gunman in his own room Sunday afternoon.
Simplicio Yvon, 54 years old and a branch manager of Vision Recruitment Agency, sustained a gunshot wound on his left armpit.
Yvon told Police Officer 2 Lou Pagara of Cebu City Police Office homicide section that on 2 p.m. Sunday, a man he did not recognize knocked on his room then immediately shot him and left his place. Yvon was renting a room at Andres Abellana Extension at Barangay Guadalupe.
“The victim said that someone was knocking on his door. When he answered it, a man appeared and shot him. He was not able to recognize the suspect as he fled right away after the incident,” said Pagara.
Witnesses in the area said that they did not see anybody with a gun but only heard a single gunshot.
Yvon said that the suspect must be one of his agency’s applicants.
“Maybe he was one of those I have interviewed but was not able to get through,” Yvon told Pagara.
The victim of the shooting incident was not able to give more details as he was immediately rushed to Visayas Community Medical Center.
Police said they did not recover any evidence at the crime scene.
