A VOLLEYBALL coach of the Davao Region Athletic Association (Davraa) group was shot dead by unknown shooters while performing a training session inside a fitness center in Barangay Bago Gallera, Davao City, early night on Thursday, November 12.

The victim was recognized as Randy Ultado Maravillas, 35, who was holding a beach ball practice with high school university gamers at the time of the occurrence.

In a phone interview with SunStar Davao, Maj. Fil Anthony Manlatican, chief of the Baliok Police Station, stated 2 unknown suspects got to the health club on board a motorbike and approached the victim while the training was continuous.

“Usa ni siya ka volleyball coach, part sa Davraa team. While ongoing ang ilahang pag-practice sa high school varsity, naay duha ka unidentified na naka-motor nya nidool sa iyaha sa gym (He was a volleyball coach and part of the Davraa team. While the high school varsity team was conducting practice, two unidentified individuals riding a motorcycle approached him at the gym),” Manlatican stated.

Based upon preliminary authorities reports, among the suspects went into the Suhai Gym in Purok 4 using a face mask, black t-shirt, black shorts, and a cap before shooting Maravillas in the head utilizing a.45-caliber handgun.

The 2nd suspect supposedly functioned as the vacation chauffeur, waiting outside the location on a motorbike before getting away with the shooter after the shooting.

Maravillas sustained a gunshot injury to the head and was stated dead following the attack.

Cops have yet to develop the intention behind the killing.

“As of now, wala pa’y motive sa pagpatay (there’s no motive yet for the killing),” Manlatican stated.

Private investigators are continuing their probe to figure out the scenarios surrounding the event, develop the identities of the 2 suspects, and recognize the possible intention behind the attack.

Authorities have yet to reveal additional information as the examination continues. DEF
