Ortiz shot in the back in the DR

[Double Mocha Man]

Oh, I think DT already knows that... but not first hand.

[Dr Naysay]

So Ortiz was not the target rather was meant to be his friend who he was sat with. No surprise the guy who ordered the hit has Mexican cartel ties.

Fyi the Dominican tourists deaths might have been bootleg liquor purchased by the hotels.

Okay, so why would a Mexican cartel order a hit on a Dominican TV journalist?

[Donn Beach]

it was a guy with connections to the Gulf cartel, he is a Dominican

Mr Rodríguez and Ney Aldrin Bautista, the head of the national police, said the intended victim was a friend of Ortiz, who they identified as Sixto David Fernández.

They named the man suspected of ordering the attempted murder as Victor Hugo Gomez, a fugitive wanted by US authorities who has connections to Mexico's Gulf Cartel drug gang.

He is believed to have hired the attackers to kill Mr Fernández - who was identified as his cousin - for turning him in to drug investigators in 2011, the officials said.
