Single Mom Working as Pharmacy Attendant Gunned Down Along V. Rama Avenue in Cebu City Moments After Alighting From Jeepney
A single mother working as a pharmacy attendant was shot dead by a motorcycle-riding gunman shortly after she got off a jeepney in Cebu City on Tuesday morning, November 10, 2026.
The victim was identified as Marjorie Llaguno, 40, a resident of Caballes Compound in Barangay Guadalupe, SunStar Cebu reported. Some reports placed her age at 42.
The shooting happened past 11 a.m. along V. Rama Avenue in Barangay Calamba. She was on her way to work when the incident took place.
Based on CCTV footage, the suspect on a motorcycle came from the opposite side of the road, made a U-turn, and approached the woman as she stepped down from the jeepney, GMA News reported.
The victim reportedly tried to push the gun away, but she was shot and fell to the side of the road. She sustained gunshot wounds to the head and neck.
The suspect then fled toward Natalio Bacalso Avenue. Llaguno was rushed to the Cebu City Medical Center but was declared dead on arrival.
Her family told reporters that they suspect her former partner, a security guard, could be behind the killing. According to relatives, he allegedly sent her a message warning that something would happen to her if she refused to get back together with him.
The victim, a mother of five, was in her white work uniform when she was shot, SunStar Superbalita Cebu reported. Her mother, who rushed to the scene, was seen crying, “Akong anak…” (My child…)
However, the police have not yet confirmed the family’s allegations or identified the gunman.
The Sawang Calero Police Station is now backtracking CCTV footage from nearby cameras and coordinating with the victim’s family as it works to identify and arrest the suspect and determine the motive behind the crime.
