Security Video Shows 'Sophistication' in Shooting Attack on David Ortiz

Security footage from the shooting against former Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz indicates a sophisticated attack.

Per Michael Weissenstein and Martin Jose Adames Alcantara of the Associated Press, prosecutors in the Dominican Republic used statements from witnesses and security footage to determine a "new level of sophistication in the attack" involving two men on a motorcycle and two different groups in cars attempted to kill Ortiz.

"In one of the videos it was possible to observe both the accused and the shooter planning the commission of the incident right on Octavio Mejia Ricard Street, which is parallel to the place where the event took place," prosecutors said in the court document.
