SANTA ROSA, Nueva Ecija – Another suspected member of the dreaded Alakdan Gang, a robbery-hold-up group that operates in Nueva Ecija and nearby provinces, was killed while trying to extort from a car-dealing firm in Barangay Luna here Friday night, police reported on Monday.
Senior Supt. Ricardo Marquez, Nueva Ecija police director, identified the suspect as Ramil Hizon, a resident of the same village.
Marquez said that two policemen were sent by Chief Insp. Reynaldo dela Cruz, town police chief, to check a report that a suspicious looking man was in the vicinity of the Honda Cars dealership in Barangay Luna at about 8:00 p.m. Friday.
The policemen, he said, approached the man but “the suspect immediately drew his short firearm and shot twice at the responding policemen.”
This, according to dela Cruz, prompted the policemen to fire back.
Scene of the crime operatives recovered from the crime the suspect’s cal. 38 revolver with two live bullets and spent shells and a hand grenade.
Last January, police killed three alleged members of the gang in Barangay Soledad, also of this town. Two of them were identified as Rodel Hizon and Modesto Sison of Cabanatuan City.
