A person with disabilities or PWD was shot and killed while on the side of the road in Barangay Ong Yiu, Butuan City, Agusan del Norte last Saturday.
Renato Macaranga, 50 years old, was in his improvised wheelchair when an unknown man approached him. He was shot with a .45 caliber handgun, causing him to fall to the paved road.
Macaranga also uses crutches when he needs to get out of his wheelchair to walk. Responding emergency teams immediately took him to the hospital, but doctors declared him dead.
The Butuan City Police are still investigating to determine who committed the crime and who will be charged.
