DIGOS CITY-A 16-year old boy was killed after allegedly resisting arrest when operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Davao del Sur served a warrant for his arrest Thursday afternoon.
Supt. Deozar Almasa, Digos City police director, said police and CIDG operatives tried to arrest Ernesto Placibe Jr., alias ‘Pidot’ at Sitio Bi-ao, Barangay Cogon here based on a warrant of arrest issued by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 18 Judge Marivic Trabajo-Daray.
Placible, however, reportedly resisted.
Almasa said instead of surrendering, Placibe drew his homemade revolver, which prompted the authorities to shoot him.
The suspect was brought to the Davao del Sur Provincial Hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
Police records showed that the suspect is also involved in a robbery case. /gsg
