Gulf Cartel connection in the attack of Boston Red Sox David Ortiz

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat
I wondered if the shooting of former Boston Red Sox slugger, David “Big Papi” Ortiz, may have been cartel related….and now reportedly it may have been both cartel related and a case of mistaken identity.

Ortiz was not the target of the June 9th shooting; it was his friend who was the real target.  The shooting occurred in a Santo Domingo nightclub. “Dial Bar and Lodge” , the Dominican Republic's lead prosecutor has revealed.

Attorney General Jean Alain Rodríguez says David Fernandez, the “real target”,  was dressed similarly to Ortiz and seated with the ex-baseball star on the night of the shooting.

Ortiz had his back to the entrance when he was shot in the back.

There have been 11 suspects arrests, including the alleged shooter, Rolfy Ferreyra, aka Sandy,  U.S. prosecutors said Ferreyra is wanted on armed robbery and gun charges in New Jersey.

He says he became confused by the similar clothing and shot Ortiz by mistake.

Rodriguez said the shooting was ordered by a man named Victor Hugo Gomez, [left] who the prosecutor described as a member of the Gulf Cartel, [ “El Cártel del Golfo”] he describes as “one of Mexico’s major cartel”.

Unofficially the hit was a settling of scores for “snitching”.

8000 USD was to be paid for the hit.

Gomez was believed to be in the United States and was being sought by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Ortiz recovers at Massachusetts General Hospital. Doctors in the Dominican Republic removed his gallbladder and part of his intestine before he was transferred to Boston in an air ambulance sent by the Red Sox.

From Reforma:

Gabriel Alexander Pérez Vizcaíno, is accused of being the link between the alleged assassins and the people who paid them.

The documents also establish that a man, who is imprisoned for a case, approached Pérez to propose his participation, one week before June 9, when the retired baseball player was shot in a bar Santo Domingo. That subject sent Perez a picture of the victim, so he could share it with the hit men.

According to the authorities cited by the court documents, Perez shared the image with the other suspects, during a meeting at a nearby gas station, a few minutes before the attack. The authorities have not said whether the image was of Ortiz.

accused shooter says he was "confused"
The documents also indicate that Pérez sold a golden iPhone 6, which was used to plan the attack, to a woman who paid $ 180. Seeking  to get rid of evidence, a day after the former player was wounded.
"He ... did it to get rid of the cell phone when he found out that the police were looking for him," the document said.

A lawyer for Perez refused to issue statements when leaving the hearing, while the police took the suspect, wearing a red shirt, an armored vest and a helmet. The suspect also did not talk to the reporters.

"El Hueso", 24, is one of 10 suspects detained by the authorities, who are also seeking at least two other people mentioned in the court documents, including a man who would have paid the hit men.

José Martínez Hoepelman, attorney for Ortiz, said he was satisfied with the progress of the investigation.

"I trust the authorities," he asked. "They have worked tirelessly to get the result we have so far, we all want to get more information, but we have to wait."

Ortiz’ attorney also made it clear said that he has no connection with criminal activities, that are linked to the attack against his life.


"I can say that David Ortiz is innocent in what happened. It has no connection to illicit activities, does not have relationships with people who have criminal connections, or violated family values ​​that could cause such an incident,” he said in an interview with the Boston Globe.

The police have said that they offered 400 thousand Dominican pesos (about 7 thousand 800 dollars) to the coordinator of the attack against "Big Papi".

Ortiz guided the Red Sox to three World Series titles. He was chosen 10 times to the All-Star Game and totaled 541 homers. He resides in Boston, but visits his native Dominican Republic several times a year.

  4. Ehhh, I don’t know if I believe the mistaken identity theory. I need to see a picture of the alleged intended target. David Ortiz is a big dude and he is a celebrity in DR. I’m thinking the story of him banging a bichote’s boss is real.

    1. It does sound shady but look at the shooter... Does he look like a professional hitman? He looks like a tweaker and the rest of the guys involved were common thugs or tweakers themselves not professionals.. The shooter might have been high out of his mind when he was doing the hit.

      Oritz is from DR which is a huge drug transit country. He knows what can happen if he would hook up w wrong guys girl. Ortiz also has money and he is famous. I'm sure girls throw themselves at him all the time... He doesn't need to bang a drug lords girl...

      So I believe the mistaken identity story. Bad mistake by a bunch of junkies nothing more to it than that.

    3. El Chapo is lucky, when the Mexican Federal Police murdered cardinal Juan Jose Posadas Ocampo and then claimed it was the AFOS did it mistaking Posadas 6+ feet tall for El Chapo 5 ft tall), El Chapo GOT Imprisoned.
      (The real killer Rodolfo Leon Aragon, alias el Chino Leon, chief of the Policia Judicial Federal was in prison for a while)
      --This time El Chapo is being held safely near NJ, enough to qualify for intellectual author

    5. @3:20, you make valid points. I agree that Ortiz can have almost any woman on the island. But I cannot fathom someone from the DR mistaking Ortiz for anyone else or visa versa. They might just be saying this to keep his reputation in tact. As you said, he has big money and those policemen in the DR can be bought fairly cheap.

    6. @ 647 that's true. Guess we will never know for sure.

  5. This may be true but through this a likely affair was discovered. Saw the check and receipt on another site for an $85,000 car he had just bought her a day or two before.

    1. Trust me the wife knew about the affair, it is the culture and sadly accepted---it had nothing to do with that, the wife got into the brawl with the GF at the hospital because the woman disrespected the wife by going to the hospital.

  6. Mexico open your eyes to this article, it was cartel related, you see how fast the suspects we're caught. Tactics to reveal all involved worked. This cartel is pissed the Sacario s fked up, I am sure now a hit on those that screwed up, they themselves will be shot, not even safe in prison.

    2. Did you see who the target was you moron? If it would have been an average person the tweaker assassins would still be at large.. there is many deaths in that country recently on hotels without no person getting caught

    3. 6:31 $85 000.00 car for a skunk?

      Now the real owner of that skunk will take it on him/her for what he/she made him do, DavidO needed to buy them their His and Hers car for each.

  18. What ever those people are saying is all lies. First how come a person that is running from the American authorities is going to be worry about killing someone that "Snitched" on him in 2011? The alleged person they were trying to kill is a regular person that just own a car body shop, it dosnt take all those people to kill someone like that. The Dominican Authorities are protecting both David Ortiz and the biggest drug lord at the moment. How are they protecting ortiz? By not saying that all of this is over a piece of ass. Why are the protecting the drug lord? because he has the power to do so over the Dominican authorities and government. Why the person that was there to inform the hit men of who the "target was" didnt give the order before Ortiz got there? Once ortiz gets there is when he gets up and take a picture.Ortiz wasnt sitting behind a wall or a glass, the hitman could have gotten close to him and shoot him in the head, but the real intention was to shoot him in the back and in case he didnt die at least he wasnt going to be able to walk again. but the hitman missed the spinal cord. All those press conferences are just a circus that 99% of the Dominican Republic doesnt believe it.

  20. Through out history we have witness that a lot of professional players associated themselves with narco/mafia !

    But im 100% sure Ortiz is involved in santeria !

  21. 7:11 MLB is not the players mama,
    and is even less of their mama after they retire.
    Also not to be believed that "bone spurs cadet, tromp" can give lessons on patriotism to NFL or AFL players, to military that got killed or captured or served without incidents and who are losers to his eyes or to tell who kneels or stands.
    The players only obligation is to try their best to win and help their teams win, there is no mandate to win with the millions they get paid
