The man accused of conspiring to have his cousin killed, in a shooting that left former Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz badly injured, negotiated a $30,000 bounty with a group of hit men, Dominican police said.
Victor Hugo Gomez Vasquez, the alleged mastermind, is accused of paying suspect Alberto Miguel Rodriguez Mota $10,000 before the shooting, National Police spokesman Frank Felix Duran said during a Sunday news conference. Dominican court documents allege Rodriguez Mota paid $7,800 to the would-be assassins. National Police announced his arrest last week.
How the shooting of David Ortiz unfolded 02:12The day before Gomez Vasquez's arrest in the Dominican capital last week, the US Marshals Service issued a news release citing the investigation and said Gomez Vasquez should be considered armed and dangerous.
Suspect: 'I didn't mean to shoot Ortiz' 01:11Ortiz and Fernandez were on Dial's crowded bar patio when a gunman approached and opened fire with a Browning Hi-Power 9mm handgun, hitting Ortiz in the lower back. The bullet perforated Ortiz's intestines and internal organs before hitting his friend, TV talk show host Jhoel Lopez, in the leg. The accused gunman, Rolfi Ferreira Cruz, ran, police say.
