Details of the Arrests

The fourth suspect, “Makmak,” was arrested in Barangay Calero, Liloan, around 4:30 a.m. on Friday. However, one suspect known as “Ugoy” is still at large.
Background of the Incident
According to Gingoyon, the shooting was a result of a personal grudge and gang conflict between the “Bloods” and “Crips” gangs. The feud escalated following a brawl between the two gangs in Liloan on May 4, where a member of the “Bloods” allegedly stabbed the boyfriend of the deceased girl.
Subsequently, on May 8, the gangs clashed near a convenience store in Barangay Maguikay, Mandaue City, leading to the tragic events in Yati, Liloan. The rival gang members attacked the “Crips” group on motorcycles, resulting in gunfire that claimed the life of the 16-year-old girl and injured two other minors.
Legal Actions and Ongoing Investigations
Two of the suspects have confessed to their involvement in the crime, while the other two deny any wrongdoing. Police recovered crucial evidence, including 18 empty shells, 4 slugs, and a .9mm caliber pistol from the crime scene, which will undergo ballistics examination.
The apprehended suspects are currently detained at the Liloan Police Station, facing charges of murder, frustrated murder, attempted murder, and potentially illegal possession of firearms. Authorities are actively searching for the remaining suspect, “Ugoy,” to bring him to justice.
The tragic incident has left the community in shock, and the authorities are working diligently to ensure that all individuals responsible for the heinous act are held accountable for their actions..
