Of­fi­cers of the Re­gion III Homi­cide Bu­reau con­firmed they have con­sult­ed the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions (DPP) in re­la­tion to the shoot­ing death of 65-year-old Ch­agua­nas grand­moth­er Su­san Medra­no St Louis but said they have re­ceived no in­struc­tions to lay charges as of Mon­day morn­ing.

Po­lice re­port­ed St Louis and rel­a­tives vis­it­ed a Cunu­pia dou­bles stand on Sat­ur­day morn­ing when her rel­a­tives got in­to an ar­gu­ment with strangers over a park­ing spot. The ar­gu­ment es­ca­lat­ed in­to a fight, dur­ing which two of St Louis’ rel­a­tives were stabbed.

In­ves­ti­ga­tors said one of her rel­a­tives, a li­censed firearm hold­er, then drew his Glock pis­tol and fired three shots at the at­tack­ers, ac­ci­den­tal­ly shoot­ing St Louis. She died at the scene.

Sources said homi­cide in­ves­ti­ga­tors met with the DPP on Sun­day and were in­struct­ed to re­lease the man pend­ing fur­ther en­quiries. Po­lice con­firmed the 36-year-old man was dis­charged from hos­pi­tal af­ter be­ing treat­ed for stab wounds. His pis­tol and Firearms User’s Li­cence (FUL) were con­fis­cat­ed.

Cen­tral Di­vi­sion po­lice said the oc­cu­pants of the Nis­san Ti­i­da in­volved in the con­fronta­tion re­mained at large up to Mon­day af­ter­noon.
