About 4 p.m., Dennis Valencia was on his way home when an undetermined number of gunmen shot him at close range upon stepping out of the gate of the Bulwagan ng Katarungan compound on Florenz Street, said police Chief Inspector Julito Gallego, chief of the provincial police Scene of the Crime Operations (SOCO).
The victim was the son of Judge Mirafe Valencia of the Matnog municipal trial court.
Recovered from the crime scene were six spent shells and a deformed slug from a .45 caliber pistol.
As of posting time, authorities could still find no witness to the shooting incident.
Inspector Sammy Realuyo, head of the intelligence section of the city police office, said that he was with Valencia minutes before the incident. At the time, the victim was acting as counsel for a drug suspect.
Realuyo said he noticed nothing unusual when he left the same compound.
In December last year, lawyer Gil Gojol was shot dead by two gunmen in Gubat town while on his way home to Sorsogon City.
No suspects have been arrested in connection with the Gojol killing. - GMANews.TV
