A 26-year-old cook was shot dead while sitting outside his workplace in Pozorrubio, Pangasinan, on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

Kryss Jan Poseliro, the victim, was a kind and responsible man, according to his family and friends.

“Masakit, walang kalaban-laban ang apo ko, hindi namin matanggap ang ginawa sa kanya,” Violeta Poseliro, the victim’s grandmother, said.

The family said Kryss Jan was at the restobar where he worked when unidentified gunmen shot him.

The suspects fled the scene on a motorcycle.

The motive and the identities of the gunmen remain unknown, and the family is pleading for a thorough investigation.

“Sabi ng ama niya, mas matatanggap niya kung nagkasakit siya o nadisgrasya kaya namatay, pero ‘yung ginawa sa kanya, hindi tama,” Violeta said.

The police have yet to release any statement as the investigation continues, as of this writing.
