Authorities in the Dominican Republic say they are getting closer to arresting the person who ordered the shooting of baseball star David Ortiz
"His time has come. He won't see the sun again for 40 years," prosecutor Milciades Guzmán told reporters on Friday, referring to the still-unnamed individual who led what police have called a"complex" assassination plot against the beloved former Boston Red Sox slugger.The brazen shooting, and news that it was an orchestrated hit involving at least a dozen suspects, has rocked the Dominican Republic.
After mysterious tourist deaths and the shooting of David Ortiz, Dominican officials try to reassure travelers "Nowadays, the Dominicans are buying cocaine in Venezuela, contracting Venezuelans to make the hazardous journey across the Caribbean, then taking direct control of loads as they hit the island," said a 2018 report from InSight Crime, a foundation that tracks organized crime in the Caribbean and Latin America.
