Drug Trafficker mastermind arrested in Boston Sox David Ortiz shooting

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat from Boston Magazine and Boston Globe


A hit job gone wrong led to the shooting of Red Sox legend David Ortiz in the Dominican Republic earlier this month, officials in the Caribbean country say. And now, according to police, the man responsible for planning the scheme is in custody.

Dominican authorities announced via tweet Friday that Victor Hugo Gómez, the alleged mastermind of the scheme that resulted in David Ortiz being shot in the back at a Santo Domingo nightclub, has been arrested. Gómez is also reportedly wanted on drug trafficking charges in the U.S.

The suspect, Victor Hugo Gomez Vasquez, 43, was charged in an indictment filed in Texas’s southern district in November 2018. He’s identified in the document, initially filed in November 2018 and unsealed in March, as Victor Hugo Gomez.

  1. Goes to show the magnitude of drug trafficking worldwide. My opinion if not for who was shot he would have continued to reign in the Dominican Republic.
    This unwanted attention led to his arrest.

  3. Fucking dominicans first in nyc when the trinitarios killed the wrong guy for fucking one of their relatives. If you need a shooter to get the right guy look to the island to your right. Plenty of shooters in P.R.

    3. Bought by the americans? Sol prendido your out of your elemennt. Pr and Cuba were taken from Spain by americans. Usa kept P.R. for strategic purposes. If your comment is some kind of poke about the usa keeping PR as a territory, dont forget the usa beat the shit out of Mexico in war. Usa army went deep into Mexico then left it and set the border.Now your army cant even beat traffickers. No one from Mexico is in a position to shit on anyones nationalty considering your country is not only worse than Afghanistan is the most corrupt country in the world and your new president lost his balls as soon as he took office. So it will continue on the path its been on since beltan vs chapo and cdg vs zetas days. F U Bb if you dont post this.

  6. He released a video saying he didnt have nothing to do with that. The person who was at the location feeding all the info to the hitmen should have call the hit off. He had over 2 hours to let them know Ortiz was there. And even if the got the "right person killed" it would have been big news anyways since Ortiz was right there. And Im sure they didnt want that to blow up and bring all that heat to themself. Nome of this shit makes sense. Ortiz didnt look like the target, wasnt wearing the same color clothes. So nope the hit the right person and the accused the wrong person as being the mastermind behind all of this. The guys is running from the American law enforcement and the last thing on his mind is killing someone for something that happened in 2011 which they had already settled. The president of the Dominican Republic, the prosecutor amd the police are protecting the real mastermind.

  8. Just because CDG has a huge present in Houston it doesn’t necessarily mean they order the hit.
    A lot of independent dealers from the rio grande valley buy CDG product and send it to Houston, various city’s across the east coast!
