The man suspected of paying a nearly $8,000 bounty to a team of would-be assassins implicated in the botched hit on Red Sox icon David"Big Papi" Ortiz has been named by authorities, but mystery still shrouds the identity of the person who allegedly ordered the brazen shooting in the Dominican Republic -- and why.
A massive search in the Dominican Republic continued Tuesday for Rodriguez Mota and two other suspects in the alleged attempted hit job -- Luis Alfredo Rivas-Clase, who also goes by the nickname"The Surgeon," and Maria Fernanda Villasmil Manzanilla, authorities said. In a statement released Monday, officials in the Dominican Attorney General's office said police continue investigating the motive and “intellectual authors” of the alleged attempted hit on Ortiz.
Ortiz was rushed to a hospital in Santo Domingo and underwent an operation in which doctors removed parts of his liver and small and large intestines, officials said.
