Department of Interior and Local Government Undersecretary (DILG) Jonathan Malaya confirmed Tuesday in an interview over GMA News that the rank of Police Senior Master Sergeant Jonel Nuezca has been downgraded.
Malaya noted that Nuezca who was assigned at the Parañaque police crime laboratory was demoted for a grave misconduct complaint filed in 2014.
On Sunday, Nuezca shot 52 year-old Sonya Gregorio and her son 25-year old Frank near the victim’s house in Paniqui, Tarlac at the height of an argument.
The incident was caught in a video that spread online with the public condemning the police officer’s act.
