He got shot in the back and through the abdomen.
i’m sure he still has enough HGH in his body to recover
Fuck the ass who is responsible for this, may he burn in hell. Hope Ortiz pulls through this ok.
Ortiz, the most well known and popular man in the DR with a huge frame (6'3" and *big number here* pounds) and an easily identifiable face, was accidentally shot in a case of mistaken identity. So, I guess that's that.

This seems more like an instance of the police trying to protect Ortiz. Somehow the story got out (whether true or not) that the "hit" was because Ortiz was banging some drug dealer's wife. Ortiz is an absolute legend in the Dominican so it seems pretty plausible to me that they're putting out the "mistaken identity" story to try and take some dirt off Ortiz's name. The police probably convinced the shooter he has a lower chance of getting murdered in jail if he goes along with the "I meant to shoot someone else" story.
Oh and the mistaken identity guy (Sixto David Fernandez) looks absolutely nothing like Ortiz...... and somehow the police picked the 1 guy in their group that was unmarried as the intended target.
I can buy it even though it seems silly due to his fame and frame, but these guys weren't John Wick, and were probably pretty nervous/amateurish. Also wouldn't be surprised if they had self-medicated to gain a little extra motivation. So yeah, maybe poorly lit outdoors nightclub area, Ortiz sitting down reduces the size discrepancy a bit, and it was from the back. Makes it a little more believable to me.
