2 victims of QC shootings laid to rest
Amid calls by their loved ones for justice, two women victims of separate violent shooting incidents in Quezon City last week were laid to rest Sunday. Sheryl Sarmiento was buried at Himlayang Pilipino in Quezon City while Teresita Teaño was buried at Loyola Memorial Park in Marikina, radio dzBB reported. Relatives of Sarmiento wore white T-shirts with the message "Justice for Sheryl" and green armbands as they made their way to the Himlayang Pilipino. But Sarmientoâs widower Jonas admitted he was scared for his childrenâs security following last weekâs incident. An earlier dzBB report said this yearâs Fatherâs Day was a sad one for Jonas as he lost his wife. Last June 14, heavily armed men wearing black masks and jackets shot dead Sarmiento in a daring ambush near a mall in Quezon City. Witnesses said the assailantsâ van blocked the victimâs car at about 9:30 p.m. at the corner of Regalado Street and Commonwealth Avenue. Police said they are looking into the possibility the incident may be a case of mistaken identity. An initial investigation showed a van blocked the path of Sarmientoâs Toyota Altis (NIU-285), and four men alighted from the van. The men then opened fire on the Altis.
