BACOLOD City – A man was gunned down by unidentified motorcycle-riding assailants in front of a gasoline station at Barangay Sum-ag here yesterday.
Slain was Randolf Domingo, 38, of Barangay Singcang-Airport here.

He was previously arrested for a drug offense at Barangay Taculing and in the area of Police Station 2, the station commander added.
