Authorities now blame Alberto Miguel Rodríguez in David Ortiz attempted murder case
In a new development in the David Ortiz attempted murder case, Alberto Miguel Rodríguez Mota, a fugitive from justice, is identified by the authorities as the person who allegedly would pay for committing the hit-and-run crime. The authorities did not say why or have provided more information on the intellectual authors of the crime. Already more than a dozen persons are under arrest or sought for in this case.
The authorities say their investigations show that Gabriel Alexander Pérez Vizcaíno (Hueso), who surrendered last Friday, 15 June 2019, as part of those implicated in the attack on Ortiz, was used by José Eduardo Ciprian (Chuky) to put the group of hitmen in contact with Alberto Miguel Rodríguez Mota.
National Police Director Ney Aldrin Bautista reported last week that those who attacked Ortiz were offered RD$400,000.
The document from the Public Ministry explains that Rodriguez Mota discussed the plan and details with Ciprian, who at the time was in the Azua 15 Jail.
Major League former baseball player David Ortiz was attacked on Sunday night, 9 at Dial Bar and Lounge in Santo Domingo Este.
The DEA, FBI and other law enforcement organizations from the United States are participating in the inquiry regarding the shooting of David Ortiz, according to the New York Daily News. A DEA spokeswoman told the New York media that the DEA could not comment on an ongoing investigation into the motive and identification of the intellectual author of the crime.
The publication states that the theories as to why Ortiz was shot have varied considerably since the shooting, but that the main one is that the Dominican police believe he was attacked by two policemen contracted by a Dominican drug dealer who believed Ortiz was having an affair with his wife.
However, Ortiz’ press secretary, Leo Lopez, denies that the shooting had anything to do with a woman, but it was a murder for hire.
