David Ortiz - Wikipedia David Américo Ortiz Arias (born November 18, 1975), nicknamed "Big Papi", is a Dominican-American former Major League Baseball (MLB)  June 2019 shooting On June 9, 2019, Ortiz was shot in the Dominican Republic, at approximately 8:50 p.m. local time, while at the Dial Bar and Lounge in East Santo Domingo.[64][76]Authorities stated that Ortiz was "ambushed by a man who got off a motorcycle" and shot him in the back.[76] According to Ortiz's spokesperson, Ortiz underwent a six-hour operation performed by three local physicians at the Abel Gonzalez Clinic. During the surgery, a portion of his intestines and colon, as well as his gallbladder, were removed; liver damage was also reported.[77] Jhoel López, a Dominican TV host who was with Ortiz, was also wounded in the leg during the shooting.[78]

As of June 12, six suspects had been arrested in relation to the shooting and more were being sought. Police Major General Ney Aldrin Bautista Almonte revealed that the alleged organizer of the attack was promised 400,000 Dominican pesos (approximately $7,800) to carry out the attack. Security camera footage showed two men on a motorcycle allegedly planning the attack with a man in a car near the bar where the shooting took place.[82] According to Ortiz's friends in the Dominican Republic, Ortiz often went to popular nightspots with them without any security presence, "trusting his fans to protect him".[82]

Alternative theory: Only a nation state has the resources to stage such an elaborate cover story t hat Ortiz was not intended target. Somebody out there stages assasinations of low to mid-range ex athletes public officials and music stars Only Ortiz would be worth an operation like this. No drug lord retaliation is worthy of that. All these mysterious not-a-terrorist-attacks  features a hollywood script worthy backstory that could have been staged.

Shooting of David Ortiz 6/21/2019

On June 9, 2019, retired professional baseball player David Ortiz was shot and severely wounded while at a bar in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Ortiz survived and received emergency medical treatment, while an investigation quickly resulted in the arrest of several suspects in the attack. The suspected shooter was identified as Rolfi Ferreira Cruz. It was quickly reported that the attack was a paid hit job. On June 19, the Dominican Attorney General announced that Ortiz was shot by mistake, with another person named Sixto David Fernandez being the intended target of the shooting.[1]

Background

Ortiz was born and raised in the Dominican Republic.[2] Although he has lived in numerous other places during his career, and has resided in Miami with his wife Tiffany and two of their children since 2017, he has continued to maintain a home in the Dominican Republic.[3] According to Ortiz's friends in the Dominican Republic, Ortiz often went to popular nightspots with them without any security presence, "trusting his fans to protect him."[4]

Shooting

Security camera footage revealed that on June 9, 2019, at approximately 5:40 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time, one of the suspects involved in the shooting, Alberto Miguel Rodriguez Mota arrived at the Dial Bar and Lounge in East Santo Domingo. Rodriguez Mota waited for several hours for the arrival of the intended target of the attack, Sixto David Fernandez, a friend of David Ortiz. After Fernandez arrived and sat down at his usual table, Rodriguez Mota took a picture of him,[5] but the picture was blurry and the black pants being worn by Fernandez were obscured by a white object in the bar.[6]
Rodriguez Mota texted the picture to Jose Eduardo Ciprian, an inmate at 15 de Azua prison. Ciprian then texted the picture to another suspect Gabriel Alexander Perez Vizcaíno, who showed the picture to several other suspects in a meeting at a gas station.[5] In the interim, however, Ortiz had arrived at the bar wearing white pants, and wearing a patterned shirt similar to that being worn by Fernandez, and sat next to Fernandez at the same table.[5] Just prior to the incident, security camera footage showed two men on a motorcycle allegedly planning the attack with a man in a car near the bar where the shooting took place.[4]
At approximately 8:50 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time,[3][7] Ortiz was "ambushed by a man who got off a motorcycle",[7]saw Ortiz wearing white pants, and shot him with a single bullet in the back.[6][7] Jhoel López, a Dominican TV host who was with Ortiz, was also wounded in the leg during the shooting.[8]

Medical response

According to Ortiz's spokesperson, Ortiz underwent a six-hour operation performed by three local physicians at the Abel Gonzalez Clinic. During the surgery, a portion of his intestines and colon, as well as his gallbladder, were removed; liver damage was also reported.[9]
On June 10, a medical flight sent by Ortiz's former team, the Boston Red Sox, brought Ortiz to Boston, so he could receive further treatment at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).[10] He underwent a second surgery shortly after arriving at MGH, and was reported to be "making good progress toward recovery."[11][12] A spokesman for Ortiz reported that it was considered to be a good sign that Ortiz was able to walk a few steps "just one day after surgery."[13] Tiffany Ortiz released a statement on June 13 indicating that her husband was "in guarded condition in the surgical intensive care unit,"[14] and advised that his condition was upgraded to "good" on June 18.[15]
López, struck by the same bullet that passed through Ortiz, was injured in the right thigh and did not need surgery.[16]

Investigation and legal response

The first person to be arrested was Eddy Feliz Garcia, who reportedly fell off the motorcycle used to transport the shooter, and was beaten by patrons of the bar before being taken into custody.[17] By June 12, six suspects had been arrested in relation to the shooting and more were being sought. Police Major General Ney Aldrin Bautista Almonte revealed that the alleged organizer of the attack was promised 400,000 Dominican pesos (approximately $7,800) to carry out the attack.[4] By June 14, eight men and one woman had been arrested and charged in connection with the attack.[18] Police also recovered the gun used in the attack, a Browning Hi-Power 9mm.[19] On June 14, a 10th suspect turned himself in to police.[20] Also on June 14, prosecutors announced that they would reveal the motive and a "full narrative of how the case happened" within the following week.[21] On June 18, law enforcement officials identified an eleventh suspect in police custody, Franklin Junior Merán, whom they alleged to have rented one of the vehicles involved in the attack.[22]
Among the suspects arrested was 25-year-old Rolfi Ferreira Cruz (also reported as Rolfi Ferreras Cruz and Rolfy Ferreyra Cruz),[20][21] who was indicated by authorities to be the suspected shooter. Cruz was noted to be wanted in connection with several robberies and firearms-related charges in New Jersey.[23] After Cruz was arrested for the shooting, he released a statement from his confinement claiming that Ortiz was "not his intended victim," asserting that although he was hired to kill someone, the intended target was described by what they would be wearing, and that he mistakenly shot Ortiz because he "got confused by his clothing."[24] A Dominican prosecutor initially dismissed Cruz's explanation as a ploy to avoid being assaulted in jail due to Ortiz's popularity in the Dominican Republic.[24]However, a few days later, Dominican Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez announced that the shooting had indeed been a case of mistaken identity, with the intended target of the attack being Sixto David Fernandez, a friend of Ortiz who was a frequent visitor to the bar, and who usually sat in the seat occupied by Ortiz at the time of the shooting.[1]
On June 17, Dominican court documents disclosed that Alberto Miguel Rodriguez Mota had been identified as the suspected mastermind of the operation, having allegedly communicated with another suspect a week before the shooting. At the time his name was disclosed, Rodriguez Mota was still at large and being sought.[25] Dominican officials further identified Dominican drug trafficker Víctor Hugo Gómez, a known associate of the Gulf Cartel, and a cousin of the intended victim, as having solicited the murder.[6] According to the authorities, Gómez "suspected his relative of betraying him to Dominican drug investigators years earlier".[6]

Named suspects

Suspects identified in the investigation include:
  • Rolfi Ferreira Cruz, the alleged shooter[23]
  • Alberto Miguel Rodriguez Mota, alleged to have taken a picture of the intended victim[5]
  • Víctor Hugo Gómez, alleged to have solicited the attack[6]
  • Jose Eduardo Ciprian, prison inmate alleged to have received and conveyed a picture of the intended victim[5]
  • Gabriel Alexander Perez Vizcaíno, alleged to have shown the picture of the intended victim to other suspects[5]
  • Eddy Feliz Garcia, alleged to have been on the motorcycle used to transport the shooter[17]
  • Franklin Junior Merán, alleged to have rented a vehicle involved in the attack[22]

Reactions

News of the shooting was met with messages of love and support for Ortiz from many notable figures, particularly those involved with baseball. Among the players sending such messages were Pedro Martínez, Mike Trout, Alex Rodriguez, David Wells, Marcus Stroman, Nelson Figueroa, and Travis Shaw.[26] Eduardo Núñez of the Red Sox, who was born in the Dominican Republic, said it was unimaginable that Ortiz was shot there, and that it was "an international shame."[27] Sports reporter Erin Andrews tweeted a message of support with a Sports Illustrated cover featuring Ortiz posing alongside first responders in the weeks after the Boston Marathon bombing.[26] Former President Barack Obama also tweeted a reminiscence about Ortiz helping the city of Boston recover from the bombing, and "wishing him a speedy recovery of his own."[28]

The supposed real target was much smaller, and had a much lighter complexion. But they wore the same color pants. How did they know what color pants the target would be wearing? Ok, so someone at the club dropped a dime, maybe. But still. 70-80 pounds heavier and several shades darker? It sounds like the shooter made up the story of the accidental target to keep from being lynched.

This is only suspicious if you assume that the shooter actually knew his intended target, but it's not hard to believe that he didn't. If he was just given a vague location and description, like, "he's the dude at that table over there wearing white pants, go get him", then shooting the wrong person becomes not just possible but actually sort of likely.
