Security camera video was released of the shooting.

The shooting was not a robbery and may have been a targeted ‘hit’ on Ortiz.

It was initially reported that he was hit in the leg, but later sources said he was shot in the back and the bullet exited through his stomach.

The bar crowd captured the shooter of “BigPapi” and beat the hell out of him.
