Ortiz enlists ex-police commish to probe shooting

Former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has hired a firm headed by ex-Boston police commissioner Ed Davis to look into the details surrounding the June shooting of Ortiz in the Dominican Republic.

Davis was hired a few weeks after Ortiz returned to Boston, Joe Baerlein, a spokesperson for Ortiz and principal owner of The Edward Davis Company, told ABC News.

Baerlein said his company is "monitoring and analyzing information from various sources in the Dominican Republic around the motives for the shooting of Ortiz on June 9th," as well as providing personal security to Ortiz and his family.
