Why was David Ortiz shot? The answer might soon become known.
Initially described as a robbery gone wrong, the June 9 shooting of the retired Boston Red Sox slugger in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic appears to be the culmination of an organized and premediated conspiracy.
Since the shooting occurred, 10 people have been arrested for alleged roles in the planning and execution of the life-threatening ambush on Ortiz. The suspects include two prison inmates who are accused of assisting in the plot. Other individuals have been questioned, meaning additional arrests could be forthcoming.
