CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY — A real estate agent was shot dead by an unidentified gunman while boarding his car in Purok 7, South Poblacion, Maramag, Bukidnon on Friday afternoon.

The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) reported that the victim, a resident of the barangay, sustained a single gunshot wound to the chest.

He was rushed to the Bukidnon Provincial Hospital (BPH Maramag) but was declared dead on arrival.
