Pinoy arrested in US for shooting cop, 2 others dead

A US-based Filipino stands accused of shooting dead three people, including an off-duty police officer, following an altercation inside a bar in Ohio on Sunday morning (US time).

Igmidio Mista, who is believed to be in the US illegally, was arrested Monday for shooting dead Ramiro Sanchez, Daniel Ramirez, and off-duty police officer Jose Andy Chavez at the Last Call Bar in Fremont, Ohio, according to report on International Business Times.

The report said the argument started after the 33-year-old Mista slapped Chavez's wife for allegedly badmouthing him. At the time, Chavez was celebrating his birthday at the bar.

Mista was reportedly asked to leave the bar, but returned with a firearm and started shooting.

A fourth victim, Ramiro Arreola, was wounded in the attack. A separate report on Sandusky Register quoted relatives as saying Arreola's injuries were not life-threatening.

Mista, nicknamed Puppet, was marked as a tremendous flight risk, and identified as a non-US citizen by Fremont Law Director Jim Melle, according to the Freemont News-Messenger.

separate report said Mista was put in administrative segregation after his arraignment Monday. He is currently in a cell separate from the general population of the Sandusky County Jail, which is standard procedure for inmates convicted of serious crimes.

Mista now faces a 15-year-to-life charge with no bond, according to a report on United Press International. — Rie Takumi/KBK, GMA News
