THE Presidential Task Force on Media Security announced the arrest of the suspected gunman in the November 2023 killing of Misamis Occidental radio broadcaster Juan “DJ Johnny” Jumalon in Dipolog City, Zamboanga Del Norte.
“This case is as good as completely solved,” said PTFoMS Executive Director Usec. Paul M. Gutierrez, as he cited the report from Misamis Occidental Provincial Police Office director, P/Col. Dwight Monato, on the arrest of Jolieto Dumaog Mangumpit or “Ricky.” Mangumpit is the identified gunman who shot dead Jumalon inside his residence in Calamba, Misamis Occidental in the early morning of Nov. 5, 2023, while he was broadcasting on air.
In his report to Department of Justice Secretary Jesus Remulla, PTFoMS Co-Chair Press Secretary Cheloy Garafil and Executive Secretary Lucas P. Bersamin, Gutierrez said Mangumpit was arrested by joint operatives and intelligence personnel of the Misamis Occidental and Zamboanga Del Norte Police Offices, past 3:00 am, in Dipolog City, based on an arrest warrant for murder issued by Judge Michael Lotao Ajoc of Regional trial Court Branch 36, 10th Judicial Region, Misamis Occidental.
Aside from the killing of Jumalon, Monato told Gutierrez that Mangumpit also has eight outstanding warrants of arrest for murder, frustrated murder, direct assault, and violation of the anti-drug law. He is also listed in the province’s most wanted criminals.“Finally, the quest for justice for the family of Jumalon will be served with the arrest of Mangumpit. All three suspects directly involved in the killing of Jumalon are now in the hands of the law,” the official said.
