BREAKING: At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, Ney Aldrin Bautista Almonte, director of the Dominican National Police, and Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez, said the authorities had arrested a total of five people directly involved in the attack on Ortiz, including the alleged gunman.
Almonte also held up the black handgun allegedly used in the attack and showed security camera footage of the shooting and of people scattering after the attack.
Rodriguez said the alleged hitmen had been paid 400,000 Dominican pesos, or just under $8,000, to kill Ortiz. Almonte said authorities are continuing to investigate and have not determined who was the mastermind behind the attack and what the motive was.
Chilling new details emerged Wednesday about the shooting of retired Red Sox legend David Ortiz, who was ambushed Sunday night as he sat with friends at a popular night spot in his native Santo Domingo.
