Retired Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz was shot Sunday night while seated in Dial Discotheque, a popular night club in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Purported surveillance video from the night club shows the assailant, who has been identified in media accounts as Eddy Feliz Garcia, walk up to Ortiz from behind while the 43-year-old former World Series MVP was in the middle of a conversation with another man. Standing within close range of Ortiz, the assailant then raised his weapon and, with both hands on his gun, shot Ortiz in the back.
The assailant immediately sprinted to his right.
