A Venezuelan woman who was wanted in connection with the 2019 shooting of Red Sox legend David Ortiz has been arrested, according to the Dominican Republic National Police.
María Fernanda Villasmil Manzanilla, 25, of Venezuela was captured by Interpol, per a social media post from Dominican authorities. Manzanilla was actively being pursued with a “red notification” for being connected to the shooting incident, they said.
It’s not immediately clear what charges Manzanilla is facing.
Ortiz, who won three World Series titles with the Red Sox, was shot in the back at close range on June 9, 2019 while sitting at a bar in Santo Domingo.
