Winter Haven Police are searching for reggeaton artist Kendo Kaponi, who's wanted in an attack on a local barber.

Kendo Kaponi, whose real name is Jose Fernando Rivera Morales, 32, is a well-known performer in his native Puerto Rico and has collaborated with reggaeton stars such as Don Omar and Ozuna.

Police say he and another, unidentified man attacked 30-year-old Jon Erik Baez-Molano behind the Winter Haven barber shop Custom Kuts the night of July 28.

Baez-Molano left the shop and got into a car when Morales pulled him out of the vehicle and started beating him with a metal baton while the other man repeatedly punched him before beating him with a piece of wood, police said.

A third man is seen on surveillance footage recording the incident, police said.

After the beating, Morales and another other man go into Baez-Molano's vehicle

and take his wallet before leaving, police said.

Baez-Molano was transported to Winter Haven Hospital where he was treated and released.

Baez-Molano has known Morales since 2005, and it is unclear what provoked the

attack, police said.

Police say Morales recently performed as Kendo Kaponi in the Orlando area. An online concert flier shows he was scheduled to play Gilt nightclub in Orlando the same night he's accused of beating Baez-Molano.

Morales faces felony charges of armed burglary with assault and battery and felony aggravated battery.

Winter Haven police said anyone with information on the whereabouts of Morales is asked to call Heartland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-TIPS (8477). Callers will remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $3,000.
