Police in Santiago, Dominican Republic, reportedly are searching for Cubs prospect Josefrailin Alcantara in connection with the shooting death of a 26-year-old man.
According to Nathaniel Perez Nero of Diario Libre, the incident occurred last Friday. The report indicates that the victim, Darwin Diaz Valero, owed Alcantara a sum roughly equivalent to $2,750 in U.S. dollars. Alcantara, 18, reportedly got into a dispute with Diaz inside a gray Hyundai Sonata, at which point he is alleged to have shot Valero twice.
The car is reportedly in possession of authorities, and was discovered with a nine millimeter projectile inside, as well as blood stains.
