David Ortiz shooting suspects and alleged hitmen are being rounded up by the Dominican Republic National Police.
The former Boston Red Sox player was shot at a bar in the Dominican Republic on Sunday, June 9. He has since been recovering in the ICU at Massachusetts General Hospital after a six-hour surgery.
“Our #PolicíaRD, together with the @ProcuraduriaRD, reported on the case where the former player, David Ortiz, and the communicator Johel López were wounded, who arrested six people while actively trying to locate the others,” the National Police wrote on Twitter.
“Nobody involved in this lamentable episode will remain in impunity, not even the material or intellectual author of the crime,” Dominican Republic’s chief prosecutor Jean Alain Rodríguez said in a joint press conference on Wednesday.
