David Ortiz is flown to Mass General for recovery
Baseball star David Ortiz was flown to Mass General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts to continue his recovery from a gunshot wound suffered on Sunday evening, 9 June 2019.
David Ortiz left the Abel González Advanced Medicine Clinic in Santo Domingo on Tuesday, 10 June at 5:15pm to take an air ambulance for the flight to Boston, Massachusetts.
His father, Leo Ortiz stated: "We are going to the city of Boston, not because of the lack of medical services in the country, because we have are very satisfied, but the family and David's private doctors await us in Boston." Ortiz arrived to Boston at 10:35pm and was taken directly to Mass General Hospital.
In Santo Domingo, Ortiz had been operated at the Abel González Advanced Medicine Clinic on Av. Abraham Lincoln, where he remained in the intensive care unit until his condition was stabilized so he could be flown to Boston.
The bullet went through Ortiz's back, out of his abdomen and then the same bullet hit TV host Jhoel López in the leg. Both men are out of danger.
The spokesman for the clinic, Dr. Abel González, had said that the surgery on Ortiz was successful. He noted that the bullet struck the liver and the small and large intestines. He says Ortiz's gall bladder was removed to make space to treat the liver. He was operated by doctors José Abel González, José Alejandro Smester López and Felipe Martínez.
Ortiz was shot while out with friends, television producer Jhoel López and the rap singer, Urbano Secreto, in the Dial Bar on Venezuela Avenue, in eastern Santo Domingo. He was said to be a frequent patron of the popular Ozama neighborhood bar and dance parlor.
In the case, the Police have said they have under arrest Eddy Feliz Garcia, aged 25. The Police suspect he was the driver of the motorcycle that transported the assailant to the scene. Feliz García has a police record with arrests for drug charges in 2017. The bike is also under custody.
But the man who fired against Ortiz is fugitive. The Police is on the lookout of the other person who is seen on the surveillance video shooting at the ball player.
The Police are investigating the possibility that the killer had been contracted and it was due to "a fight over a woman". Photos and videos have extensively circulated on social media showing a voluptuous woman said to be what sparked the incident. A video of a woman who was not allowed to see Ortiz at the Abel González Clinic has also circulated on social media.
Ortiz's spokesperson, Leo Lopez, told local press that a hitman is suspected, but denied claims that jealousy and a woman were behind the shooting. The New York Post carried a report whereby sources within the Police had mentioned the woman as the motive for the shooting.
Major General Ney Aldrin Bautista Almonte has gone on record saying the shooting was not a robbery. He said the Police is carrying out an exhaustive investigation into the incident.
The Central Office of Investigation (Dicrim) and the Forensic Police are working the scene to clarify what exactly happened at 10:30pm on Sunday. Witnesses are being interviewed and the Police are working to discover if other people are involved. The Police says it has made several arrests.
As reported, FBI agents from the United States are working with the local Police authorities on the case.
