The death of a man initially suspected to be linked to the near-fatal 2019 shooting of Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz, along with the arrest of a 25-year-old Venezuelan woman allegedly involved in the crime, has unsettled the Dominican Republic this week.
Local authorities discovered Víctor Hugo Gómez Vásquez's body on January 10 in a town near Santo Domingo, after his family reported his disappearance in early December. They only disclosed this information this week, coinciding with the arrest of the Venezuelan woman.
