David Ortiz: Boston Red Sox legend ‘not target of shooting’

Media playback is unsupported on your device

The shooting of former baseball star David Ortiz in the Dominican Republic earlier this month was a case of mistaken identity, officials say.

The ex-Boston Red Sox player was shot in the back at an outdoor venue in his hometown, Santo Domingo, on 9 June.

The Dominican Republic's attorney general and national police director said the attackers had intended to kill another man sitting at the same table.

Ortiz, 43, has been recovering at a hospital in Boston.

His wife, Tiffany Ortiz, said in a statement on Tuesday that his condition had been upgraded from "guarded" to "good".

Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez said an investigation had revealed that "the object of the criminal attack on David Ortiz was not him".

Mr Rodríguez and Ney Aldrin Bautista, the head of the national police, said the intended victim was a friend of Ortiz, who they identified as Sixto David Fernández.

They named the man suspected of ordering the attempted murder as Victor Hugo Gomez, a fugitive wanted by US authorities who has connections to Mexico's Gulf Cartel drug gang.

He is believed to have hired the attackers to kill Mr Fernández – who was identified as his cousin – for turning him in to drug investigators in 2011, the officials said.
