A 28-year-old man was shot dead by a 49-year old barber in Barangay Oro Site, Legazpi City, Albay.

According to the Legazpi City Police Station, the victim initially waited for the suspect at the barber shop where the suspect was working. 

The victim allegedly attempted to stab the suspect, but only wounded the suspect’s hand.

The suspect then grabbed his improvised firearm and shot the victim.

The suspect then fled the scene immediately.

Police said the victim and the suspect had a longstanding feud prior to the incident.

“Yung biktima may dati na siyang record digdi sa Legazpi, digdi sa satuyang police station, kaya lang yun ang problema na igwa sindang dati ng sigalot talaga,” PEMS Carlos Peña, spokesperson for the Legazpi City Police, said.

The Legazpi City Police have launched a hot pursuit operation to arrest the suspect.
