A SAND and gravel dealer died due to gunshot wounds on his nape at Purok 5, Barangay San Jose, Cebu City, last Monday morning.

The 47-year-old victim was identified as Romeo Ople, a resident of barangay San Jose. Cebu City police cited personal grudge as a possible motive in Ople’s murder. The suspect, who remains unidentified, is still at large.

Ople was with his 17-year-old nephew when he delivered sand to one of his customers located 50 meters away from their yard when the suspect blocked their path and shot the victim.
